Hi,

My experience is that a program developped with Borland C++ Builder (in any recent version) presents the difficulty of using the Borland Visual Class Library (VCL). This has several effects:

- the executable that results is huge (that may or may not be a real problem) - JAWS seems to recognize only the VCL and so it becomes a problem to have different JAWS configurations for different projects.

I use the Borland compiler from a command line or batch file to compile programs using native code and API calls and it works fine. All you have to do is to make sure that you use standard Windows resources. To include resources such as menus and accelerators, there is a way of putting an include statement in the main .cpp file that makes it easy. If you're interested in that, let me know and I'll send the code to you.

HTH.

Subject: can a program made on Borland C++ Builder be accessible?


Hello friends, if a program is made with Borland C plus-plus Builder,
is it possible to make it accessible to screen-readers,  and how to do it?
means: how to tell the program to use standard windows classes, so the screen-readers may provide better navigation and reading with such programs?
is a rebuilt required, or some on-the-fly sollutions out there?
Thanks, Jitendra.
