If this gentleman has said accessibility is a waste of his time, why bother
with this request? Ok, yes, sure, applications like Tapin radio and others
need accessibility help with QT support but, he has already said no to
improving this tool that we need.

that's a good idea, but that's for an offlist conversation. I'm down for
doing that, how can I help?

Perhaps a better response would be to all send him a request for
accessibility. At least he may get the message, whether or not he acts on
it.

Dave,
Typically if the accessible widgets aren't improving access to a QT
program, then they are using a custom control set which provides no
accessibility data, the widget library isn't compatible with the version
of QT used to build the app or, what is most probable, is that
accessibility support has been disabled for the program. Unfortunately,
the means by which QT implements accessibility severely limits what any
screen reader can do. Essentially, if accessibility is disabled, our
hands are tied as there is no fallback method to get any useful context
about where you are in a QT app as there is with Win32 programs. In this
case I recommend contacting the program's author directly and letting
them know their program isn't accessible.
Regards,
Steve

Hi list,
I was wondering if anyone had any success accessing QT applications? I
have installed the QT-support App but have not had any luck with it.
When I start a QT application for the first time, I get the message
that the accessible widgets have not been installed, would I like to
install them now? I click yes but when the application is restarted
there is not anything except a Treeview with nothing in it. I'm
wondering if the QT-support app and the widgets are conflicting with
each other? This is a pity because there are some great open source
applications out there that use the QT framework and I would love to
experiment with them but they are not accessible. Does anyone have an
idea about how to troubleshoot this? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Also, I've noticed that the QT-support app has not been updated for a
while. Is this the reason some modern QT-based frameworks are not
working? Thanks,
Dave C. Bahr
