Re: [platform-dev] Accessibility (Screen Reader)

Hi Thomas,
Your snippet doesn't work out of the box with JAWS screen reader.
Looks like you need to explicitly add the support for owner drawn Table to be Accessible.

Sharing with you some Accessible APIs which seems related to Table:
table.getAccessible().addAccessibleTableListener(new AccessibleTableListener() {});
table.getAccessible().addAccessibleTableCellListener(new AccessibleTableCellListener() {});

We don't have an example handy, so you will have to experiment with these Listeners.

For Tree please check if below snippet helps:

Is there some documentation available how to get make SWT accessible, 
especially owner-drawn controls (tables, trees)?
