Eventhough the UI Inspector app displays data for all other MS

but not for MS Excel. Whether this can be possible for application to
disable the accessibility from within as I was not able to find any
published API to do this. Anyway actually my application required to
have
the frontmost document of any other app, and here I have no way at
least for
Excel. Could you tell me any other alternative for this.
I think this is a known bug that's fixed in Panther. Because of the way
that Excel initialized the toolbox, the accessibility code didn't get
initialized and so we don't provide accessibility info for Excel. I
don't believe there's any workaround other than upgrading to Panther.
