Umm, I think we've talked before and I have no problem using the WinForm
controls all the time with WE, so I guess it depends on how much time
your willing to put in on it. There are ways to handle the controls by
setting their values textually, and sighted assistance is very helpful.
However, it is tough.
That's the good news. The bad news is that WinForms and WPF apps are not
the norm any more, it's all about creating Win apps and store apps and
standard based Windows desktop programming is going the way like your
reference to DOS. Have a look into universal apps in Win 10 and you'll
see what I mean. That's the future of development. Have you looked at or
heard about Visual Studio 2015, using XAML and trying to put together
your own UI from scratch? Good luck.

Hi Guys: Has WindowEyes ever started looking at the standard Winforms
Controls for accessibility and their selectable Accessibility settings for
use with screen readers?
I am again considering the TabbedDocument, views, control and perhaps the
Winforms Grid control with lists or tables inside each grid column for a
display on a windows form.
In the past WindowEyes did not handle the TabbedDocument control well and I
have never even tried the grid control pretty much guessing WE would either
fail completely or be a mess to try and use.
The consideration of WindowEyes of the old, dos style, xml quote standard
windows controls is decades out of use by anyone who programs against the
windows platform and the Visual Studio quote standard controls listed in the
windows tool box for development of windows based applications is what is,
and has for many years now, been what all windows developers use. But Ihave
never heard of WindowEyes having any accessibility documentation on either
the accessibility of these controls nor what properties to set to make them
accessible to WindowEyes.
Has anyone heard about WindowEyes getting more involved with the modern
windows platforms and the related controlls used by windows developers or
are they still only considering the old dos controls the quote standard
windows controls?
