Hey Quentin
If you can provide a small working example (I lack the time to do it quickly
myself), I would be happy to test it out on a MacBook.

Subject: [program-l] Re: Question about accessibility in wxPython
Hello,
Something that works well on windows (and anyway you don't have anything
else) is to make sure to create your controls in the right order.
First the static text label, then immediately after, the associated
control. No other control in between.
Only the order of creation is important. Their place on screen or sizer
settings have no importance.
You may customize accessibility stuff by using wxAccessible, but it's
quite complicated if you want to do it well. So better stay out of it.
Just create your controls in the right order and you have nothing else
to do.
Always creating controls in a well defined order also implicitely
establish the tab traversal in that same order.
IN a wxDialog, you then have nothing else special to do to have tab
working fine. IN wxFrame it works better if all controls are put in a
wxPanel rather than directly in the wxFrame.
So for example, if you have a login dialog box, you should create the
controls in that order:
1. wxStaticText "Username:"
2. wxTextCtrl for the username field
3. wxStaticText "Password:"
4. wxTextCtrl for the password
5. wxCheckboxCtrl for remember me
6. wxButton for OK
7. wxButton for Cancel
Note that checkboxes, radios and buttons don't need a static text label,
because they contin themselves and alone the text read by Jaws/NVDA.
Sadly, I don't knwo at all if it's so easy in other platforms. No one
has been able to reply for mac so far, in particular.
Hopes that helps
