Re: [anjuta-devel] Anjuta Accessibility

[Mike Ray <mike eyesfreelinux ninja>]

Hello Sebastien,

I am not yet that familiar with gtk programming.  I currently write gtk
programs in Perl since I am most comfortable with it and it's fast to
get stuff written than doing the same in C.

It seems that most, if not all, gtk widgets are accessible out of the
box.  I guess there might be something non-standard about the way druid
is creating the widgets.

I understand that for gtk >3.8 (I think) it is usually a matter of
subclassing GtkContainerAccessible.

More than that I cannot yet say.  But as I read more I can maybe help a
bit more.

Mike
