I am just beginning to learn about accessbility specifically in relation to JAWS - so newbie alert!
I am looking to modify an old vb6 app which has a form with a 3 column flexgrid. There is a custom edit box which is overlaid on the form for editing in the right most column. On row change, ideally JAWS needs to read the contents of the 2 leftmost columns on that row.
I am wondering how best to implement this?
I have seen possible solutions of loading into a text file and shelling out to JAWS on a row-change type event. This seems a bit heavy but maybe it is a good solution.
I have also read about the IAccessible
interface. This sounds like a good solution to me, but I don't know if it'd give me what I was after ie whether JAWS uses this interface to get its info.
I would be grateful if someone could advise me/steer me in the 'right' direction about the way I should be thinking about this.
