Here is the bit the develper is having about adding custom accessibility components to the UI of his application:
Regarding accessibility/making DrumSpillage assistive I'm now pretty confident about what I need to do. Using the Inspector app I just need to mirror the supported attributes in the standard controls. That's quite straight forward for simple controls but gets a little bit more complex for switches and controls with tabs as that involves setting child attributes. It's no big deal but does need to be done right. It's amazing how this process has shed light on my own control hierarchy. One decision that needs to be made is what to do with number box fields that report values in specific units like hertz, decibels, milliseconds etc. Actually, that's straight forward but making the corresponding slider also report those units (rather than a simple percentage value) isn't easy. THe inspector seems really fit for adding the right classes to a UI element. On the addition of pertinent value information on sliders instead of the generic percentage information, does anyone have something that could orient the devver? As i said previously, a helping hand manual of some sort that can then be sent to many other developers from our own ground work would seriously help, and as mentioned above in the excerpt, it also provides the devver a whole lot of useful infirmation on their own application's hierarchy as it grows in complexity. If anyone would like to share this interest, please let me know off list and i could setup a wiki on my server for this manual project with relevant test Uis. On another note, i have started the process with another developer who makes an 8 bit plugin called chipsounds which is very very nice, and just recently was recoded in 64bit AU plugin format.
