O RLY? http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/technote/wxaccesstips.htm sure looks like there's a whole host of things that I, the application programmer, must do manually to enable an accessible application[1]. I can't just plop down controls and have an accessible application. > The programmer doesn't even know that the application will also offer > accessibility features. No, accessibility requires consideration in the design and implementation of the GUIs, in all of those toolkits. It is not transparent, nor can it be transparent. It requires both consideration when laying out the widgets, but also ensuring that the widgets have specific properties set. How many applications have you ever used that had focus order bugs? That's an accessibility issue that requires programmer intervention to get right. Adam [1] That list is not comprehensive by a long shot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
