Hi
I've developed a Windows application in Qt which needs to be accessible to blind users. Previously I've used MFC which works well with screen-readers.
When I start my Qt application and use a screen-reader, e.g. the Narrator in Vista, it's not able to tell what type of control is currently focused. In MFC it e.g. says that it's an edit-control whereas in my Qt app everything is just a "pane", no matter if it's a combobox or edit control. Also when I activate my menu-bar it just says "menu-bar" and doesn't tell the individual items.
I've found a few Qt articles on how to develop accessible widgets but how do I use the widgets which are already in place in Qt? Can't Qt tell the narrator what type of control is focused?
