Microsoft Active Accessibility is a Component Object Model (COM)-based technology that improves the way accessibility aids work with applications running on Microsoft Windows. It provides dynamic-link libraries that are incorporated into the operating system as well as a COM interface and API elements that provide reliable methods for exposing information about UI elements.
Where applicableBy using Microsoft Active Accessibility and following accessible design practices, developers can make applications running on Windows more accessible to many people with vision, hearing, or motion disabilities.
Developer audienceMicrosoft Active Accessibility is designed primarily for C, C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic developers. In general, developers need a moderate level of understanding about COM objects and interfaces as well as about Unicode.
Run-time requirementsFull support for Microsoft Active Accessibility is built into Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Microsoft Active Accessibility is also supported on Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6 (SP6) and later, and Windows 98.
