Accessibility implementation for MFC

Question

I am trying to implement accessibility for a custom control in my application. Its an MFC application and the custom control is a GridControl, currently not recognizable to CUIT.

Is there a good document/blog that describes how this can be done? I do see some information available on various sites, but there is no proper step by step guideline for this. Can someone help?

Hi PiaBarve,

You should ask for help from windows UI Accessibility and Automation, the Technology Abstraction Layer in CUIT is based on Accessibility Technology(AT): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsaccessibilityandautomation/threads

Hi PiaBarve,

Seems like you should implement accessibility first then your GridControl could be recognized by CUIT.

Here is a link for you, hope this could help:
