Nope, "Off Screen model approach" is not a crutch. It does not necessarily achieve the best Accessibility but it is utilized in JFW and HAL. I believe that Window-Eyes also makes a good attempt to address controls and so forth which aren't MS standard. I believe utilizing MSAA whereever possible is obviously the best way but it doesn't always work. In Window-Eyes, one can toggle MSAA on and off and it is necessary to do so in certain instances. Long of the short obviously a hybrid approach to utilize whatever will get the job done. Amanda Lee On Tue, 22 Jan 2002, Kirk Wood wrote: > On Tue, 22 Jan 2002, Charles Crawford wrote: > > Thanks.
