Re: rebuilding wx widgets with accessible addons

Good afternoon Dietmar


SetLabel does indeed work for wx.Listctrl, though if I use it on 
wx.TextCtrl it sets the value, as well..

Oddly, SetName still works for textctrl.


I am left with sliders currently being the biggest barrier to upgrading 
as neither SetName or SetLabel seem to provide a valid screen reader label.

I've not come across SetWindowText so will look into that.


I can not emphasise enough my gratitude for your time on this, even 
knowing there's someone else lending a hand to track this down is a huge 
help
