[nvda] Re: NVDA and Visual Basic labels

Visual Basic 6 labels are drawn directly on the form: no hWnd, no MSAA
access. They don't work with Narrator either.

Visual Basic .Net labels comply with MSAA, so no problem there.

I'm a VB6 developer and have spent some time trying to find a simple
and free and Unicode-compliant label replacement, but no luck so far.

Best wishes,
