Re: GTK+ Windows accessibility issue

Hello,
GTK plus has no accessibility related support for windows. GTK apps are 
only accessible on linux as far as I can tell.
Here is a GTK bug listing some things on how accessibility support for 
GTK on windows should be developed however the enhancement request is 
there for some ten years already I don't expect anyone just magically 
doing it in the mean time.
Here it is so you can take a look on how it stands...
