Well, that is brilliant! I have JAWS 11, but if the Express editions of VS are going to be free (should it exist at all), then we have not only a free IDE, but also a free screen reader to work with!

NVDA supports UI Automation and code editor in VS2010 is simply accessible with it. I tried loading a VB project and reading by line/word/character works well. Therefore, not sure why it doesn't work with JAWS 11 because JAWS11 also supports UI Automation. I didn't try RC, the last one I've tried is beta2. On 19.2.2010 10:25, Chris Hallsworth wrote:Oh wow! How do you mean you got it to work with NVDA?

I don't know — being my office computer always connected to internet — how Windows Update missed this release, although it frequently downloads some sort of updates.

I have installed VS 2010 RC today and found the most basic things — the code editor — totally inaccessible with Jaws (10) due to being developed in WPF. Then, I installed jaws 11, hoping for some resolution, as it is boasted to support UIA (WPF accessibility API) — but it too turned out to be of little help — even menus which were accessible with Jaws10 became inaccessible. Although some sort of reading abbility is regained with the code editor — but not at all matching the standard we, as programmers, expect. Things are getting more and more challenging and difficult as MS continues to experiment with its UI.__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
