[RWP] For Steve: Always On Top and Run In Dedicated Process

[Steve Spamer]

Hi Indi and thanks for your efforts.  you're definitely missing something
there, as the whole reason for in dedicated process per plugin is to allow
the plug to have its own window.  When you've inserted the plug, in the FX
window you can tab over to "UI", and double left click it with the numpad
cursor, then the plug should open in that dedicated window.

You said there's no reason to bridge a 32 plug in a 32 bit DAW, well I agree
with you from a sighted point of view, but we need a window where HSC or AHK
can focus on...without that, the plugs window is only about  2 thirds of the
FX window and  most importantly, not in focus for a screenreader...it's the
FX window that's in focus.  Making those changes brings focus to the plug
and not to the FX window with the plug in the background to us...but
remember, it's not in the background for a sighted dood, it's visible on
screen.  Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve,
In my XP 32 bit daw; running Window-eyes 6.1; I tried to get what you 
are finding in Windows 7 64 bit and Jaws, but just couldn't.
I selected Always on Top in the view menu of Reaper 4.32; also selected 
In Dedicated Process in the Preferences Compatibility settings, but I 
couldn't get either Massive or Absynth 5's interface to show up when I 
tabbed.
I did get the words Bridged PlugIn May be in Top Level Window, or words 
to that effect; to show up in Absynth's native interface, at Wineyes 
numPad; but  otherwise Absynth's interface looked the same.
When I pressed tab I just heard Window-Eyes version 6.1, same as always.
Also, I didn't get either Massive or Absynth's parameters or value edit 
boxes to show up at the arrow keys, as is the case with the bundled 
Reaper plugs.
Just to learn what would happen, I tried other choices in Compatibility, 
In Separate Process; also In Native Interface, Not Bridged, and results 
were the same.
I got no advantage from tabbing,and in the choice In Dedicated Process I 
at first couldn't access Massive or Absynth's s usual interface; at 
Wineyes numPad;  but pressed escape and then F to return to FX Routing; 
and eventually got the usual Massive or Absynth interface,which is 
practically empty anyway, since it's all bit map imagery.
I returned to the default Compatibility setting, which is I think 
Auto-select; but kept Always on top, which didn't seem to either hurt or 
help anything.

I don't think I'm going to be of any assistance to your efforts, since 
bridging 32 bit plugs doesn't make much sense in 32 bit XP; and; as I 
indicated; Wineyes won't run 64 bit Reaper along with ReaAccess.
I could have tried NVDA in XP; but it wouldn't have proved much; since 
until I learn how to do it I can't get anything from plug interfaces at 
the numPad with NVDA.

Maybe Always on Top; or In Dedicated Process only matters to Jaws, I 
don't know until I install Jaws on 64 bit Windows and try it.
Sorry,
Indi
