I don’t think I understand the problem. Are you not able to instantiate QAccessibleAnnouncementEvent because you are not in C++? Or do you not have access to Qt APIs?
If adding QAccessibleAnnouncementEvent::setMessage would help, then how do you get hold of the QAccessibleAnnouncementEvent instance to call that method on? FWIW, QAccessibleAnnouncementEvent, is a new type in Qt 6.8, and we are still in beta, so if there’s anything missing from that class to make it usable, then there’s still time to add it.
