First, JAWS doesn't announce anything that is a custom control, and yes, 
press JAWS key number 7 to reclass a custom control. By JAWS key I mean 
insert for desktops and caps lock for laptops.

Hi all,

I mainly use Window-Eyes but I've got a question about JAWS.  Sometimes
when Window-Eyes encounters a control that isn't a standard Windows
control it says "custom control".  You then have the ability in
Window-Eyes to reclass this control so it appears to be a standard
Windows control to Window-Eyes.  This sometimes makes custom controls
accessible.  What term does JAWS use for controls that aren't standard
Windows controls and does JAWS have a reclass feature similar to
Window-Eyes?  Thanks in advance for satisfying my curiosity.

Regards Steve
