Detailed Description

The QAccessibleBridge class is the base class for accessibility back-ends.

CopperSpice supports Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA), Mac OS X Accessibility, and the Unix/X11 AT-SPI standard. By subclassing QAccessibleBridge, you can support other backends than the predefined ones.

Currently, custom bridges are only supported on Unix. We might add support for them on other platforms as well if there is enough demand.
