.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

AccessibleObject

Synopsis

This class encapsulates the information needed by applications that support users who need assistance with a UI. This might include magnifiers, Braille readers, specialized pointing devices, etc.

Developers may derive from this class to provide their own accessibility information, to announce navigation, property, and state changes to these accessibility clients. To make life easier, Microsoft already provides a class called Control.AccessibilityObject. Unless you create your own custom controls, this provides all the accessibility information required for your own applications, and you never really need to worry about this stuff—you get it all for free. If you do create a custom control that adds its own special state or navigation handling, you may need to derive your own accessibility object and override the appropriate members to notify clients when your state changes.
