How getting JAWS 5.0 to read a JDialog

Question

Hi,
I have an application that have a few input screen and for each of them I have a report.
The report is quiet simple. It is a JDialog with labels, an "OK" button and a "PRINT" button.
I have 2 labels for each rows. The first column is the description of the row and the second column is the amount associated with the description.
ex: Name Amount (this label is the result od a specific calculation)
Received 12
The first column is always the same only the second changes.
Now, JAWS 5.1 can read every label one after the others without the user doing anything. Jaws 5.0 does not behave the same way as 5.1. When the report is created, the focus is on the OK button and read only this button and the title.
For every label I use the setAccessibleName() and setAccessibleDescription()
How can I get Jaws 5.0 to read the full report when it is shows?

You want to use Full Bridge I  (one) since that is the one that contains 4 active gages all seeing the full strain either compressive or tensile depending on which segment of the bridge it is in.
I don't see where the Convert Strain Gage Reading VI is talking about 0 or 90 degrees in its help.  But typically, the other bridge configurations have other gages that are defined as Poisson gages where the gage is rotated 90 degrees from the principal strain in order to account for or measure the Poisson's ratio of the material.  Honestly, I've never worried about Poisson gages (except back in school when he had it in a class on measurment techniques.)
One other thing you can look at.  When you define the DAQ task, you can define it as an analog input for measuring strain, and can define all the bridge parameters in there.  That will do all the conversion and scaling for you and you won't have to worry about using the Convert Strain VI in your LabVIEW code.
