Sina and others willing to investigate Mono accessibility,

As far as I can tell, Mono is supposed to be able to run C# 2.0 apps that use System.Windows.Forms controls. Mono is available at
http://go-mono.org

Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to download the installer for Windows! I think there is a graphical link. If anyone else figures this out, please let us know.

I did a fruit basket in C# 2.0, without additional dependencies, that is part of the archive at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/cs_fruit.zip

Check out the archive inside called
cs2_fruit.zip

Also worth trying are existing Mono apps found on this page
http://www.mono-project.com/Software

Apparently, there are two GUI toolkits worth considering: GTK# and WinForms. Some of the free apps on this page use either one of those GUItoolkits, which are probably worth comparing for accessibility.

Microsoft and Novell are porting UIA to Mono, including a UIA bridge to the ATK accessibility API on Linux. It may be necessary to install that package to get accessibility support. It is available at
http://www.mono-project.com/Accessibility

Jamal, What I can do is offer to test a gui you write in mono.

Take care,

Can any Linux users answer a question that I have not been able to find an 
answer to.  How accessible are GUIs created with the Mono
framework?
