Have you tried wxDev-C++? It comes with a visual designer for wxWidgets. I have no idea how good it is with screen readers but it is something worth trying. Even if you can't use the visual designer, wxWidgets is actually fairly easy to program for. You don't HAVE to use the visual designer in wxDev-C++ to program for wxWidgets, but it is a nice shortcut. http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/ From the IUP's own documentation: "And it does not have support for Unicode characters." That is a show-stopper bug from my perspective. While I have major gripes with Unicode, it is the only thing between us and anarchy. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
