Re: [g-a-devel] GAIL questions



Hey Mike,

Please drop a line here or on the more user-oriented accessibility lists when you have things further along such that folks might try it out and play with it. I know a lot of folks have been keen to use AbiWord.

Gail will be loaded if the whole system's accessibility is enabled. And
I am not sure if your application wants to depend on gail. Evolution met
the same problem. You can take a look at ea-combo-button.c in Evolution.
e-combo-button is based on GtkButton, ea-combo-button is based on
gailbutton and Evolution is not depend on gail. Just inherit it
run-time.
Thanks, Li.  That helped.  I didn't realize that I could look up the 
AtkObject factory for a type and then use the factory to retrieve the 
accessible type.  That gets around the whole issue of not being able to 
access gail's symbols.  I now have the GailWidget functionality back (the 
widget still doesn't provide any meaningful accessibility because I 
haven't written an AtkTextIface implementation yet.)
I'll write again if I run into anything else that I can't figure out.

-Mike
