Yes, it acts just like any other program. If you want it out of the
alt-tab list, you can go under General -> Startup Options, and set the
"Show Icon in the Notification Area instead of the Taskbar" option to "Yes."
The 4th Guess What article mentions Visual Studio 2010, what is it and
why should us users care? What apps built with it are available for use?
You can read more about Visual Studio at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio. As for what
applications are built with it, that's anyone's guess. I can tell you
that Window-Eyes is, but Window-Eyes is not a WPF application. So
perhaps you're asking what WPF applications are out there?
Better yet, please give a list of the programs currently using UIA.
Ah, that's what you're asking. I know that Blio uses UIA, and there are
a handful of Windows Server 2008 utilities that use UIA. Oh, and the
inbox of Office 2010 (although that's been supported since Window-Eyes
7.2). I'm not aware of any others right now, but I know that will change
as the technology matures.
Does all the programs in Office 2010 use UIA -- Excel 2010, Word 2010,
Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, etc.?
No. Only the Outlook 2010 inbox at this point.
Word 2010 was mentioned and how faster reading of tables of contents
would be. Does WE 7.5 and UIA now support "content controls" used in
Word Headers and Footers? Does Math Zones now work in Word 2010 so
college students can do real math?
I believe access to these controls will rely on work from Microsoft.
You've been in contact with them, no?
Guess What articles mention that Windows Live Mail and Windows Live
Messenger use UIA. What about the rest of the free Windows Live
Essentials?
We figure that the Photo Gallery and Movie Maker are not top on the
usability list for blind and visually impaired users. If there are other
aspects that you're interested, let us know, and we'll investigate.
What 2011 programs from Microsoft (and others) may we expect to employ
UIA?
You'd have to talk to every developer in existence and ask them what
their future plans are, so that's a bit of an unknown at this point.
