C# Keeping dropdown menu open when Dragon NaturallySpeaking's MouseGrid opens

151 Views Asked by At

How can I keep a dropdown menu open when Dragon NaturallySpeaking's MouseGrid opens? I'm using C# and Windows 10. The MouseGrid overlays the desktop screen with the grid that allows the user to quickly jump to numbered quadrants. Some applications will keep the dropdown open when the overlay opens, but it seems that the C# applications created by Visual Studio close the menu as soon as the grid appears.

Best bet in that case is to not navigate with the Mouse Grid. What happens if you just say the choice, or start pressing arrow keys (say "press down arrow") or hitting the tab key to get to it?

You can try using mouse motion commands ("move mouse left") but the dropdown may also disappear. Or best to use an advanced scripting command to just click the spot you want. You don't say what version of Dragon you use so you might not have scripting ability. If that's the case, you can use Dragon to call an external script to do it (just put a shortcut on the desktop).
