Ya, the new accessibility hooks in VS 2010 are much diferent than they were in VS 2008. If I ever find some others who want to muck about with scripting I might create scripts for Windoweyes since it uses the com interface and should offer pretty good accessibility tools if GW Micro has the hooks set up properly in their com interface. From the prior readings I had done the new Accessibility Techniques should be much cleaner and more comprehensive than the old MSAA style hooks but that will depend on how well the Screen Reader companies enable them in their products including their scripting interfaces. Usually it takes about a year before they get the buggs worked out. Also, I won't do it by myself. I just don't like working alone since I don't really need them for the things I do most often..

Hi Rick, me too Hoping ... but as of now my experience with VS2010 is not good although the problem seems to be with Jaws I guess.

That said, VWD makes everything available through the HTML or Code Editors so it is accessible without messing with the FormsDesigner. Perhaps in VWD 2010 Microsoft and Windoweyes, or JAWS, will put the new UIA Accessibility hooks to good use with the Forms Designer and a coupld of other Designers like some of the Dataset or Database Designersthat have things that are hither unusable or dificult to use with a screenreader.
