All of the questions you have asked in this message and your other messages
suggest to me that you might have misunderstood something basic about the
Accessibility API. Namely, that if your application uses standard Carbon or
Cocoa code for user interface elements, you don't have to pay any attention
to any of this stuff. Standard Carbon and Cocoa widgets already have AXRole,
AXRoleDescription and so on built in, behind your back. An end-user
application developer doesn't have to implement them. Your application will
just automatically be accessible.
You only have to implement this stuff for specific custom controls in your
application that don't inherit from standard Carbon or Cocoa controls.
Pardon me if I misunderstood where you're coming from.
