[wix-devs] Burn standard c++ boostrapper accessibility

[Sean Farrow]

Hi Rob,

With regards to making the window a dialog, we could either do this or write our own UIA/MSAA provider that wouldn't change the existing code but would augment it and make access technologies work.

In terms of my second question, what I meant was I can see the window is created in the CreateWindow function, but can't see where the controls are added from the theme file. I hope that makes more sense?

Kind regards
Sean.

It's not a dialog class because the window isn't a dialog. It's a window with custom rendered controls by thmutil.cpp.

I suppose you could try changing the class to a dialog if that helped (and worked).

I don't really understand your second question.

Hi all,



Pertaining to my thread regarding burns accessibility, I've done some digging and noticed that the standard C++ bootstrapper creates a window with a class as follows:

static const LPCWSTR WIXSTDBA_WINDOW_CLASS = L"WixStdBA"; Is there any reason this isn't a dialog (class #32770)?



This is partly why the native C++ bootstrapper isn't as accessible as it could be.



Secondly, I was wondering where the controls for the theme are actually laid out programmatically on the window create in the CreateWindow procedure?



Cheers
Sean.
