That is exactly what I am looking for, a "Dictionary" application is
essentially assisting you with being able to read information on the
screen. Unfortunately I cannot find any documentation at all on how to
access a programs accessable information! The only information I can
find are pages and posts saying there is no documentation!
Does anyone know where I might find information on how to detect the
accessability information under the mouse cursor?
(I continue to search the apple documentation in the mean time)
Thanks,
Jacob
