Re: dogtail Dogtail support for TCL / TK applications

[S 2011 <sun 2011 h gmail com>]

Hi Vita,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.

It would be a great if you have any inputs on the below queries.
1. Is there any option to enable a11y support for tcl without using python module ? Because there is not much control to change that application into otherthan tcl
2. Do you have any suggestions on automation tools for tcl tk applications ?
 
Thanks,
Sunil
