How do you get it to do that with hover menus expanded?
It'll work with application menus, submenus, context menus, and tooltips. But it sounds like maybe you're talking about something different?
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is she the type of person who'd travel to a hotspot in order to send email? How many hotspots is she near? Do they have to be free hotspots? And if she wants a new computer, will the iPad just end up redundant to boot?

Web applications. With menus that disappear when you use the keyboard. Hence the need for specialised software, with the timer. Otherwise, yeah, I'd use the OS.

Huh, works for my blog's menus.

Okay, let me rephrase: what's the cheapest print screen application for Windows that anyone here's familiar with that has a timer function?
Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
ita, That's what I'm trying to figure out, if it's worth doing?
I don't think it is. It doesn't solve any of her needs.
If the library has free wifi, they likely also have computers patrons can use. She can write emails from there. No shipping or new tech to learn. And if she's adverse to using the computers at the library, she's not going to see the iPad that needs to be in a wireless area and has onscreen typing as a good thing.

Sorry. It's just weird because the PrtScn key doesn't generate a KeyDown event so I'm not sure how the application manages to dismiss the menu before the KeyUp event. You have to really go out of your way to capture a KeyDown event with PrtScn.

All really good questions. Things that I think are gnawing at my head too. I believe the library has computers. There are Starbucks and McD's nearby, which have free wi-fi (with my AT&T info). Again, not sure how much pain it is to set up each time. The only advantage to having the ipad would be to compose the emails from home (or where ever), then when she gets in email range, send/receive. But. Not sure how savvy she is to do that.
It's sounding like it would be more pain than it's worth. Maybe I should just make the iPad2 the work one, and the iPad 3 the home one. Seems so selfish.

I didn't write the code, so I can't explain it. I didn't architect it, so I can't justify it. But i can describe it, and...that's what it does. Sorry I can't be more technical, but I don't want that to get in the way of my software request, if anyone can help.

All is well that ends in pizza.
