NVDA Developer Guide: Question about how to make addons using standard NotePad

Daniel Gartmann <lists@...>
 

Hi,

I tried to find information about how to make an add-on using the built-in Notepad application instead of having to install NotePad++.

The use case is as follows:
You go to another person’s computer to make NVDA behave better for that particular user in a specific situation.

Other screenreaders have built-in script editors e.g the JAWS Script Editor. But when using NVDA, we are told to use NotePad++.

It is, however, not possible to install NotePad++ if, for instance, you are in a corporate environment or some other restricted setting.

So. What is the procedure to make a .py file in Notepad and save it in the correct format?

Could it be included in the NVDA Developer guide?

Just a suggestion so that NVDA’s customizations can be made easier in more places.

Daniel

## Changes for 6.1 ##

* New and updated translations.
* Addresses the issue with the latest development versions of NVDA.
* Focus Highlight category of NVDA Settings dialog is now available.
Note that it works only with NVDA 2018.3 or later.

When Focus Highlight category of NVDA Settings dialog is available,
following items can be used.

* Make focus mode the default: This checkbox is enabled by default.
When it is unchecked, this add-on behaves same as version 5.6 or
previous versions, i.e., if browse mode is not available for an app,
the focus is shown using the thick red rectangle.
* Focus in focus mode, Focus in browse mode, Navigator object: Each of
these groups contains Color, Thickness, and Style.
* Color: This edit field allows you to type the HTML color code, i.e.,
six-character hexadecimal number. For example, "ffffff" is white,
"ff0000" is red, and so on. Note that "000000" can not be used.

Defining events on objects.

Andy B.
 

Hi,


I need to change object.hasFocus to True whenever an object gains focus. Then change it to False when it loses focus. I read somewhere in the NVDA 2019 addon developer guide that you can define object level events. Unfortunately, the short explanation didn't do much for help. Does someone have an example of how this works? I also noticed that there is an event_gainFocus, but no event_loseFocus. How do you tell when something loses focus?
Re: Testing for root of dom in Firefox

Hi,


I figured this out. There is a treeInterceptor object called rootNVDAObject which gets the root element as an nvda object. It also has rootID and rootIdentifiers.

Hi, I created the add-on for sound notiffication (currently supports
beeping only) and I will send it for review after some testing.
Although I don't think it need a lot of review because basically I
copied the NVDA core functionality for this add-on and replaced voice
messages by thones.beep.

Regards,
DaVid.

2019-06-09 6:42 GMT-06:00, DaVid via Groups.Io <dhf360=gmail.com@groups.io>:

On windows, sighted people can see the power status led. On android
and iOs, those notiffications are by sound also, with the option to
disable them.

MessageWindow can't be subclassed, extending from
windowUtils.CustomWindow is the way to go with an add-on I think.
I don't wanted to duply a functionality in add-on, since it is already
in NVDA but with voice. If I create an add-on, I could add sound
notifffication but I can't disable voice notification.
The options for this setting could be:
Disabled: NVDA doesn't announce power status changes at all.
Voice.
Tones.
Voice and tones.

With default setting in voice.

Re: NVDA beep when power status changes?

James Scholes
 

There are usually no wrong or right answers when it comes to scope. But in this case, consider how the behaviour works on other devices. On iOS, for example, the device will usually make a sound when charging begins, depending on the state of the mute switch. This occurs regardless of whether VoiceOver is running or not. If VoiceOver is running, the user will hear both the sound and spoken feedback from the screen reader.

I should note that I don’t have any feeling either way as to whether this functionality should be included in core or not. And when it comes to add-ons, almost anything goes as far as I’m concerned, especially if you are only creating the add-on for yourself. But understand that people are pushing back in this instance, because you specifically suggested that this be a core feature.

Perhaps you could consider this: Currently NVDA anounces the power

What is the difference between play a sound or reproduce a voice message?
Both are signals that the user can perceive.

Re: Possible Bug in Addon Updater

Interestingly, I think there are times when windows simply forgets things or gets very confused. I've discovered that my long running saga of nvda not restarting after an update to add ons or itself is due to windows seeming to say files are locked for longer than one might think. Often waiting several seconds fixes it.

I guess we can never proof code against such behaviours.

Hi,
I think this may have to do with urllib library in use. If doing a third
check for add-on updates succeeds, then yes, it is a temporary connection
problem that urllib didn't know about.
At the moment I have suspended add-on development except for major and
critical issues in order to concentrate on highest of highest of priority
work in NVDA (Python 3).

seems a tad buggish.

1. An addon Updater window automatically appeared at some point, showing an
update for Win Ten App Essentials.
2. Right before noticing that, I turned off my laptop WiFI (hotkey),
thinking I was actually turning it on.
3. Then I hit "Update" to install the update.
4. Since there was now no internet access, I got an error dialog, saying
that it couldn't update.
5. Once I turned WiFI back on, I ran the NVDA->Tools->Check for addon
updates.
6. It reported "No addon update available". That is what I consider the bug:
it "forgot" that there was an update it had just told me about, because it
was unable to download it.
(N.B. should probably say "No addon updates available".) 7. I restarted
NVDA, ran step 5 again, and got the usual update dialog, which allowed me to
update W10AE.

Re: NVDA beep when power status changes?

Can you raise a ticket for us to export a hook from that function that allows addons to receive notifications about select windows events we already subscribe to?  You could also create a new WndProc in your addon, by subclassing MessageWindow. (That works in addons too). We don't export that for good reasons, we don't want people breaking NVDA's wndProc.

Hi, I was developing an add-on to beep when the power status changes.
But it requires to subscribe to windows message events, is not hard to
do but NVDA already does it for the same event. The function that
receives the event can't be patched, I think. So I need to copy all
the code from that method and do my changes.
So I think that this feature could be implemented in the NVDA core,
with an option to enable or disable this behavior. Could be useful for
People like me, that usually don't wait a message to be spoken.
Some computers have this feature on the bios, but is not usual these days.

What do you think about it?
