I went back to an older version of Malware bytes. They need to include other
screen readers in the mix. I did listen to Michael's demo of this but, there
still is some issues that need to be worked on.

It's the qt framework because of how window-eyes reads the buttons, and the
previous versions acted like a qt app does when it's not accessible. Also, if
you have a custom control and you try to reclass it, it just tells you it's a
qt widget. Aside from widget being a very peculiar word in the vernacular, that
info doesn't help anyone at all, so there's not a good way to reclass a cc.
I'm not having a lot of luck either. Mbam isn't reading me what it wants to
fix, I just see two buttons that say, enter, and another that says, fix now,
enter. Ok, but what am I fixing?
About qt again, I helped a bit with getting widnow-eyes to read qt 5-based
applications, but, like the java support, it's got a long way to go before it's
fully accessible. Let me look at the qt support app a bit, not sure how
relevant it would be. Anyone from gwmicro want to chime in here?
I'm not sure if any of that was helpful at all.
Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,
I'm not having much luck with this new release at all.
I listened to Michael Capelle's tutorial (only 15 minutes long), and it
certainly looks as though JFW has this version's accessibility nailed.
It's actually quite disappointing that WE doesn't seem to be able to work
with it.
Incidentally, how did you know it was using the QT framework?
I installed the QT support app, and it certainly helped in identifying the
state of the checkboxes, but the extraneous reading of a number counting up
drove me crazy.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rod

It seems to work here fine. For the record it's 2.0.3 so as not to be
confused with 2.3. It looks sort of accessible from the interface that I've
seen, definitely an improvement over what it was. The thing is that they are
still using the QT framework which is always a bit buggy with Window-Eyes. I'm
hoping that Window-Eyes nine will have better support for QT.
