Re: Next steps on Open Komodo

The wx widgets and win32 api widgets work because JAWS knows those window classes, not because of MSAA support. JAWS widgets, I would have thought they work via MSAA, but the JAWS 6 MSAA support might not be turned on in all the cases that it is in later versions.
I'm not willing to spend significant time or expense worrying about JAWS 6. It's an old release. At some point you have to work efficiently, and supporting old versions that are not as good with MSAA is an exercise in frustration.

If other programs can work well with older versions of Jaws, why Commodo wouldn't be able to do the same? The WX simple widgets can be accessed well, the Win32 API the same, Java SWT the same...

Octavian,
If we fix any bugs that are apparent with JAWS 9, then it should work all the way back as far as JAWS 7.1 or JAWS 8. We need a version of JAWS that utilizes MSAA well. Really old versions of JAWS have bugs that get in the way.
