Dave,

Unlike Java and QT which have the ability to be made accessible in Windows, GTK 
has no accessibility support whatsoever except when run in Gnome in a Linux 
environment. GTK widgets are nothing more than bitmaps in non-Linux land. When 
I last investigated this a few years back, the GNOME community had no desire to 
add accessibility support to GTK on commercial platforms. To be fair, I have 
not looked into this in at least 5 years, so I suppose something may have 
changed.

Regards,
Steve
