[nfbcs] Visual basic with visual studio 2013 help needed

[Sabra Ewing]

Hello. This is my first time on this list. I posted this message on another list I found, so I apologize if you are seeing it twice. I am having a problem in my visual basic class because I don't know how to work the accessibility features of visual studio. The documentation Microsoft has is very scattered and difficult to understand. The class is centered around using the mouse, and I can't follow the instructions. He basically build a program in class and you have to follow along. Therefore, I need a comprehensive list or tutorial about how to use visual studio with the keyboard only. Note that I use a screen reader, not a screen magnifier. I also need to know how to use the coordinate system or any other way of positioning controls correctly in The form. I also understand that there have been scripts created for it with jaws, but I don't know how to use them. I can do some basic things like go to the toolbox, but I need to be able to do more complicated things like switching between the form and the class, creating a database, building a table, renaming things, switching between all of these windows, and so forth. I also somehow need to figure out when something applies to me and when it does not. My professor was telling me to do something called pinning a window. I did not know how to do it, and he did it for me. I don't know if it applies to me or not though because I think it was a visual thing. I really need help because I'm going to fail my class if I can't figure something out. Thank you.
