Bill, Thanks for your reply and suggestion about using the Qt Accessibility interface. Sam, W2JDB, who has been working on the QLog (QuickLog) program says that he will get up to speed on its use. He released QLog Version 157 today for testing by our 5 visually impaired QLog beta testers.
I'm looking forward to talking with Joe, who will be giving a presentation Saturday at the VHF Super Conference at the Dulles Airport Holiday Inn. I'm sure that FT4 will be a hot topic of discussion. Thanks for all the work that you and the WSJT-X Development Team continue to do to enhance digital communications for the Radio Amateur community. 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 02:08:08 +0100 Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Program for blind ops needs 2 shortcuts On 23/04/2019 01:49, Rich Zwirko - K1HTV wrote: Would it be possible to add the following shortcuts to WSJT-X 2.1.0 rc5 before it is released so the new application for blind Hams would be able to: 1) Address the Tx Tone box 2) Enable and Disable “Hold Tx frequency" Rich, as already noted, these controls are available programmatically using the standard Qt Accessibility interface (MSAA on MS Windows, macOS accessibility on macOS, and Unix/X11 AT-SPI on Linux). On Windows instantiating the IAccessible2 API allows any process to access a Qt application by enumerating and controlling its UI control elements. Rather than extending WSJT-X to do specific control extensions on a case by case basis thus duplicating existing functionality, it should be much more efficient to adjust the control names and assistive text descriptions, if necessary, so that any accessibility tool can make use of them. 73 Bill G4WJS.
