Hello and thank. And in general, if I have a TControl instance, can you tell me a reliable algorithm that tells me if the control has a focus? Only if it makes sense of course. So probably something like I tried before, that is the control is a TWinControl instance and the Focused property is true? I know it doesn't work for a form itself. Maybe this is a bug?

If you want to subclass it in win32 go to lcl\interfaces\win32\win32wsfactory.pas line 131 function RegisterLazAccessibleObject: Boolean; alias : 'WSRegisterLazAccessibleObject'; see the commented code. only the gtk reference is a copy and paste. it needs to register the newly created class for win 32. A few very short explanations: Each widgetset (win, gtk, carbon, qt...) exports the methods for registration. the "alias" makes it visible to the linker. The LCL refers to those as external functions. So the LCL can be linked against each widgetset. Also each widgetset inherits from the classes in the parent folder (generic classes). e.g. TWSLazAccessibleObject in lcl\widgetset\wscontrols.pp line 71 and carbon inherits: TCarbonWSLazAccessibleObject = class(TWSLazAccessibleObject) in lcl\interfaces\carbon\carbonwscontrols.pp The generic classes are also compiled into the lcl.

Re: [Lazarus] Developing a WidgetSet
You are quite wrong when you are talking about LCL. For example, even buttons are not accessible, on the IDE welcome page, screen reader reports only "button", instead of "StartIDE button", "Help button", etc. Yes, the button itself is native, but is broken. Another totally inaccessible component is, probably TTreeview. It is used in the options dialog where categories are displayed, in the package explorer etc. TCheckedListBox is yet another example. Code editor is totally inaccessible, etc, etc. So again, you are wrong.

This helped a lot, thanks! Dňa 7. 10. 2017 o 17:25 Martin Frb via Lazarus napísal(a): If it hooks ExtTextOut, then the color settings will most likely make a difference. Each time the color (or text style, e.g. bold) changes, the Editor interrupts the output, and makes a new call. Also colors change, when the caret moves, so there is constant redrawing. I attached a file editoroptions.xml It has (almost) all colors black and white. Selected text will be bold. While lazarus is not running, put this file into: (replacing username with your name / make a backup of the old file) C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\lazarus\editoroptions.xml This file also overrides keyboard shortcuts, and mouse settings (in case you changed any of them).

[Lazarus] Settings in the options dialog are not focusable via keyboard
Hello, When I open the options dialog by pressing Ctrl+Shift+O, choose a category in the tree and try to navigate using Tab, I can tab through the category tree, three buttons and the filter edit. The settings themselves are not reachable. Is this a bug? I am using Windows 10 and the fresh Lazarus from SVN built today.
