Technical Note for Issues s4837, s4963, and s5153

The flags are located in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Passlogix\Extensions\AccessManager and are as follows:

JhoHierarchyProcessing

Determines which Java hierarchy events are recognized. Set the flag as follows:

HIERARCHY_EVENT_CHANGED = 0x1

The above value instructs the JHO to recognize all hierarchy events.


JhoEventWaitTimeout

Determines the event processing timeout for JHO controls (in milliseconds). The default value of 0 instructs the JHO to wait indefinitely.


JhoWindowEventProcessing

Determines which Java window events are recognized.
This flag is a combination of the following values:

WINDOW_EVENT_OPENED = 0x1
WINDOW_EVENT_CLOSED = 0x2
WINDOW_EVENT_ACTIVATED = 0x4
WINDOW_EVENT_DEACTIVATED = 0x8
WINDOW_EVENT_CLOSING = 0x10
WINDOW_EVENT_ICONIFIED = 0x20
WINDOW_EVENT_DEICONIFIED = 0x40

By default, all window events are recognized.


JhoComponentProcessing

Determines which Java component events are recognized.
This flag is a combination of the following values:

COMPONENT_EVENT_SHOWN = 0x1
COMPONENT_EVENT_HIDDEN = 0x2
COMPONENT_EVENT_ADDED = 0x4
COMPONENT_EVENT_REMOVED = 0x8

By default, all component events are recognized.


JhoInjectType

Determines the injection type used by the JHO to submit data to the controls. This flag takes one of the following values:

INJECT_TYPE_DEFAULT = 0
INJECT_TYPE_METHOD = 1
INJECT_TYPE_ACCESSIBLE = 2
INJECT_TYPE_NONACCESSIBLE = 3
INJECT_TYPE_ROBOT = 4

By default this flag is set to INJECT_TYPE_DEFAULT.

If you set JhoInjectType to INJECT_TYPE_DEFAULT, the JHO attempts injection using each of following methods, in the order shown, until injection is successful:

INJECT_TYPE_METHOD (if an appropriate set method had been found for the control)
INJECT_TYPE_ACCESSIBLE (if the control supports accessibility)
INJECT_TYPE_NONACCESSIBLE
INJECT_TYPE_ROBOT

Note: For combo and list boxes, the JHO always uses INJECT_TYPE_METHOD.



We recommend the following default settings on new installations of v-GO SSO:

JhoWindowEventProcessing=0x3
JhoComponentProcessing=0xB
JhoHierarchyProcessing=0x0

These values instruct the JHO to recognize the following events:

WINDOW_EVENT_OPENED (0x1)
WINDOW_EVENT_CLOSED (0x2)
COMPONENT_EVENT_SHOWN (0x1)
COMPONENT_EVENT_HIDDEN (0x2)
COMPONENT_EVENT_REMOVED (0x8)
