Hi, This one is for any devs on the list. Does anyone know if applications developed using WXWidgets are accessible on mac? I'm working with a developer at the minute who needs to know. His application is cross-platform so he's reluctant to abandon his entire code base. Dónal Dónal

Hi, From what I know, it's not that easy to make it accessible, but it's possible. I don't know as to how to do this, though, but from what I've been told by a developer using it, it's not the easiest thing to do. Sorry that I can't be of a lot of help here. Regards, Nicolai On Sep 6, 2012,

Hi Dónal Well, I use TeamTalk as an example here, since that's what Bjørn uses also. He told me it was a pretty tough job getting it to work properly, and even for the proper component to be recognised. Regards, Nicolai On Sep 6, 2012, at 9:13 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick dfitz...@computing.dcu.ie

This is a good guess, but it sounds like a corruption somewhere within the operating system. How frequent this can happen is anybody's guess since I only had my Macbook Pro now running Mountain Lion after upgrading from Lion for two weeks and had no problems at all, not even VoiceOver hanging

Hi there, I've not seen much of this under Mountain Lion. However I find that pressing vo-cmd-f8 then enter (in other words bringing up the welcome to boiceover dialog, and then from this launching voiceover often resolves such issues. Dónal On 3 Sep 2012, at 11:54, christopher hallsworth

One other thing to try, as long as you're using the Magic Trackpad, do a three-finger double tap to unmute VoiceOver, and see if that works. I have heard that that will solve the problem. Bob Hill On Sep 3, 2012, at 6:54 AM, christopher hallsworth christopher...@gmail.com wrote

Hello David, Many thanks for your Email. I too find it too easy to accidentally mute VoiceOver by accidental touches of the magic track pad and so like you have it safely out of harms way. I did set up a hotkey to mute/unmute VoiceOver as you describe. However in my case VoiceOver seemed
