Hi Jitendra,
Borland C++ as well as Delphi use the same class library called VCL (Visual
Control Library), as others already wrote. This often uses standard windows
controls, but wraps them using a different class name. So waht you can do is
to create a JAWS configuration file for the application either using JAWS or
manually. Here is an example:
[WindowClasses]
TBitBtn=Button
TButton=Button
TCheckBox=CheckBox
TCheckListBox=ListBox
TColorDialog=Dialog
TComboBox=ComboBox
TDirectoryListBox=ListBox
TDriveComboBox=ComboBox
TEdit=Edit
TFileListBox=ListBox
TFilterComboBox=ComboBox
TFindDialog=Dialog
TFontDialog=Dialog
TGroupBox=GroupBox
THeaderControl=HeaderBar
TLabel=Static
TListBox=ListBox
TListView=ListView
TMaskEdit=Edit
TMemo=Edit
TOpenDialog=Dialog
TOpenPictureDialog=Dialog
TPageControl=TabControl
TPrintDialog=Dialog
TPrinterSetupDialog=Dialog
TRadioButton=RadioButton
TRadioGroup=GroupBox
TReplaceDialog=Dialog
TRichEdit=Edit
TSaveDialog=Dialog
TSavePictureDialog=Dialog
TScrollBar=ScrollBar
TSpeedButton=Button
TStaticText=Static
TStatusBar=StatusBar
TTabControl=TabControl
TToolBar=ToolBar
TTrackBar=Slider
TTreeView=TreeView
TUpDown=SpinBox
This list is not complete, but with JAWS you could probably find more
classes used by the application.
What the programmer can do is to use the more accessible classes if
possible. For example: most programmers tend to use TLabel as a label for
controls, but they should use TStaticText instead, which JAWS recognizes out
of the box.
There are some specialized classes in the VCL which have no equivalent in
windows classes. These should be avoided.
Sorry that I can not give more details. The question is how the application
was designed.
