[Nvda-dev] [NVDA] #170: Skype context menus not read

[Mgr. Janusz Chmiel]

Dear syr,

    Yes, I AM aware The problems related to menus with glips, for example, 
core developer of FreeCommander enabled visually impaired users of this 
application to use this program without glibs in menus, by adding line

showglibsinmenus=0, i do not remember this line exactly. But I know, that 
every application can not be simply customized. What about triing to please 
MR Curan and MR Tech, if they would try to have programmers discussion with 
Microsoft Active accessibility developers, if they would make new 
algorithms, which would enable assistive technology developers to get text 
information also from menus with icons, with glibs? What about Windows 7, 
may be, that programmers from Microsoft corporation released new oleacc.dll, 
user32.dll and other related dlls, and thank's to this new libraries, 
programmers of NVDA would get text information from menus with glibs atleast 
for Windows 7.

    There is special driver for communicating with displaz driver, it is one 
driver from Baum retect company, but this driver is old probably has been 
released in year 2000. Dlls and .sys driver are awailable for communicating 
with diplay driver.

Yes, for some kind of applications, API functions and Oleacc.dll are not too 
enough to get text information. The driver from Baumretect is awailable on 
sourceforge.net.

    But i do not know, if used dlls will be accessible from Python by using 
Ctypes functions.
