> Does Lazarus/Delphi fare better with accessibility and JAWS support specifically?
For this particular issue, yes, because Lazarus uses Win32 for Windows applications. For Linux it uses GTK2 (can also use Qt instead) which AFAIK has good accessibility support. For Mac OS X it uses Carbon (there is a Cocoa backend but it is still in prealpha) so... it depends on how accessible Carbon apps are i suppose.
I don't think there is any special support for accessibility however, it is all about what the underlying widgets provide out of the box.
- jcelerier 9y agoApparently GTK2 doesn't fare better with JAWS: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4136662/1495627 https://stackoverflow.com/a/4136662/1495627
- badsectoracula 9y agoThat isn't relevant to Lazarus though since - from what i can tell from its site - JAWS is a Windows-only program and Lazarus uses the native Win32 controls under Windows. So it should work fine.
