I am trying to add Accessibility API to my Carbon application to get
information from other running applications (i.e., to get other
applications' windows attributes, etc). Initially I installed event
handler
(with ApplicationEventTarget I registered kEventClassAccessibilty class
along with all Accessibility events) to listen for any notifications
from
other Accessibility aware applications. With Access for assistive
devices
enabled, my application still doesn't get notification from other apps
(even
Universal Acess panel).
While there are many applications which _provide_ accessibility
information,
there are very, very few which will actually request it. One such is a
useful
test tool and is available from Apple. It's called UIElementInspector.
You'll
find it by searching the sample code Apple maintains. It sends
accessibility
queries to whatever is under the mouse pointer and lets you see what
information
your application is returning.
I understand any Cocoa apps under OS X 10.2 should
provide default accessibility. I wonder if Accessibility API is not
ready
yet for Carbon apps. By the way, I am using OS X 10.2.6 on PowerPC G4.
It's most certainly ready and working.
