I don't code yet. I'm here to learn.

Ermm...doesn't really matter how *you* define it, it's a specific set of C
functions (large set).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_API
for which .Net just calls through to (eventually) among other "wrappers" like
MFC.
I don't mind that you're trying to help out, but unless you've written an app
in all of these frameworks (or at least one), it's probably not a great thread
to reply on.

What exactly are you trying to ask? I'm curious...do you know what
win32 is?

But what support does JAWS have for straight Win 32?

Hey,
Took a quick glance at the site page and it looks like he's probably
using
win32 to draw / set text directly to the screen. This makes the job
of accessibility on the app side harder. Have you considered writing
Jaws scripts for it? Unless he makes that list of strings focusable
in some way (i.e. hosting the text in a read only textfield), it will
be difficult to make it work.
If he's instead using some kind of framework like MFC, then you can
point him to the framework level support for MSAA.
I would start with what Microsoft technology he's using to draw his
UI and go from there.

Hi all,
I love playing with apps and then checking in with developers to
make the app in question completely accessible.
One such app that I recently tried is called Listary. The left hand
side list is not navigable with a screen reader and the developer is
willing to make it accessible.
Listary is a great app. I'm pasting the URL followed by the
developer's comment I'm looking for some easy tips to address this
specific issue that can be passed on to the developer.
Do check the app out.
http://www.listary.com/
The left panel in Listary Options outputs strings like "Recent" and
"Keyboard and Mouse" directly to screen. This makes some custom
effects possible, but other applications like a screen reader will
not be able to retrieve these strings.
