[Qt-interest] QAccessible

[Kanitz, Annett]

Thanks for the reply.
It worked, but JAWS only reads the window title and the menu bar items.
It doesnt read the content of a dialog window nor the content of QPlainTextEdit.
Im using JAWS' braille viewer and that also doesnt display the text in the edit field.
Thats really important, cause the application I'm working on will be an editor.
I hope someone can help me with that.
