Most modern GUI frameworks allow you to define custom components, but you need to be careful. A screen reader that can deal correctly with standard components may not be able to "see" components you design yourself. There is a way out, though: Aqua, Swing and other frameworks provide accessibility APIs that can be implemented by your custom components to make them "visible". However, YOU HAVE TO USE THEM. It's not enough to just build a component out of standard pieces. Don't just assume that an application will be accessible because you built it with a standard framework.
