Python project extension

The requirement is to extract information from NVDA every time a new object is in focus: This is to be done via the JSON format/ TCP method as developed in the last project. What we need is: - the object location (x,y co-ordinates) - the role ( Button, dialog, editableText, window and checkbox are examples of roles) - the parent identifier If the object is "editable text" we need a flag to show this and: - the text - the caret position (This was the task from before...it works in notepad ok, but not in few other places: I tried VSCode, VS, Word and Chrome. It needs to work everywhere NVDA finds editable text) The first task is to install VS2017, grab the NVDA project from git, set up debugging (as below), add the files from the last project and build it. The next task is to investigate and document the solution for each of the pieces of information we need. If any of these tasks look feasible in under an hour, go straight to implementation. Notes on the NVDA object [login to view URL] Instructions to make debugging work: 1. Install VS2017 with python 2.7 (32bit) options. 2. Downloaded 2.7.14 "Windows debug information" from [login to view URL] Placed in C:\Python27\Symbols folder 3. Downloaded lxml‑4.1.0‑cp27‑cp27m‑[login to view URL] from: [login to view URL]~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml Placed in the C:\Python27 python -m pip install [login to view URL] python -m pip install cuppa 4. Copied nvda\dist\lib to nvda\lib 5. VS2017 --> New Project --> From existing python project --> Select the NVDA folder and the [login to view URL] environment VS-->Tools-->Options-->Debugging-->Symbols (add the C:\Python27\Symbols cache dir, specify include modules: [login to view URL] and [login to view URL]) Project -> Properties -->Debug --> Script Arguments: debug=1 6. Set [login to view URL] as start project --> release, debug 7. Set [login to view URL] as start project
