indicates that WM_GETOBJECT gets sent by oleacc in response to the
three MSAA AccessibleObjectFrom* functions. (It's also send in
response to IUIAutomation::ElementFromHandle, ElementFromPoint, and
GetFocusedElement.) Is RFT using it in some other fashion? If so is
there any documentation I can read to learn more?
Thanks, Pete

WM_GETOBJECT is NOT a reliable way of detecting AT either, since it may
be triggered by apps and even device drivers that don't have anything
to do with AT, so you are guarantied false positives even with the best
heuristics. I'm very interested in developing a reliable handshake
mechanism with AT, and would love to hear from others with
ideas/proposals on this respect. Perhaps we can take this task for the
next edition of IA2 in this list, or by a subgroup of interested
parties, and bring back a concrete proposal to the general group.
Thanks,

Thanks Jamie, I'll have to check with the architects to see if they
would have any issues with blocking. If I can block then I might also
be able to lazily call into the secondary thread to build the tree as
needed. -Pete

Thanks Jamie, [using
WM_GETOBJECT to dynamically enable accessibility] may be a problem for
the case where the app has
multiple threads and a secondary thread needs to be called by the window
proc to participate in the building of the accessibility tree. Is it
acceptable to block the UI thread?
I don't see why this is any different
to creating the tree in the same
thread. Either way, it will block the UI thread, as the WM_GETOBJECT
message needs to return the requested accessible object. Can you
shorten
the setup time by creating parts of the tree lazily only when requested?
