I would certainly like to help, but I'm not a programmer. I could help by
hosting the ad via dropbox instead. I could eat we contribute ideas if you want
to come and try helping with some of the programming. I'll see if I can learn
in the documentation and look for examples. I think they might have a star
ready for you, which imports the global class module.

Hey All,
While getting more and more involved into NVDA development, I've also gotten
interested into app module writing and making inaccessible apps more
accessible. That's one of the reasons why I propose this.
Another reason is the following snippet from the add-on development guide:
## Examining object hierarchy
There are a number of ways which you can use to see the hierarchy of an
object for a given program:
1. Using object navigation commands (NvDA+Numpad 2/4/5/6/8) with simple
review mode turned off.
2. Using Python Console, use
obj.next/previous/parent/firstChild/lastChild attributes. If you want to see
all available properties, from mPython Console, type dir(obj).
If you wish to see a more detailed description about the navigator
object, while the navigator object is located at the object you're interested
in, press NvDA+F1 to launch log viewer. The root of all objects in Windows is
the desktop, or shell object.
Honestly, both these options for getting to know the NVDA object tree seem to
be quite cumbersome. That's why I'd like to propose a third option, which can
be integrated in an addon.
It must be quite easy to create an additional window which contains a tree
view of every single object in the NVDA object tree. This allows for a simple
and elegant overview of the objects currently available, as well as makes
them visible to sighted people. Furthermore, additional functionality could
be:
* A text box containing developer info for an object
* A button to move the navigator to the selected object in the tree view
* The possibility to add an overlay class on the fly
* Radio buttons to select whether you want the final NVDA objects tree or an
objects tree based on only one accessibility API (IAccessible2, UIA, etc.)
* A select box to quickly change an object role on the fly
* The possibility to add an event handler to a certain event on a certain
object on the fly
Are there any thoughts on this, and are there people who are interested to
collaborate on this project?
Kind regards,
Leonard de Ruijter
