Hello all,
this is a pretty simple issue, but one that has kept me a bit confused.

How does the OS, or a third-party application such as VoiceOver get the first accessible object (from which it starts its traversal of the accessibility object hierarchy, I assume)?

Obviously, one can implement the Accessibility protocol on any NSView, but from what I've read in the archives and in some of the source code examples, a normal technique is also to implement another abstract object to delegate everything to. The question is, what does that object have to hook up to, so it is visible for third-parties?

Thanks,
Håkan
