I thought this might be of interest, though I don't know what the Feb. 13, 2002 date means, maybe a release date? "Developers can build applications that support the broadest audience of users with Windows Forms. Windows Forms controls implement Microsoft Active Accessibility® programming interfaces, making it straightforward to build applications that support accessibility aids such as screen readers." http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/technical/articles/winforms.asp I can't verify any of this at this time nor what details might be involved, and no, I don't work for MS :),Jjust thought I'd see what I could find.

The main thing I am interested in is allies. We can make allies by treating people as if they're on our side, even if they're Microsoft; we lose allies when we assume someone is the enemy. I believe the confrontational approach to web accessibility ultimately does more harm than good. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201 Forthcoming: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours
