Qt Accessibility to ATK Bridge

Overview

The Qt ATK Bridge bridges the Qt Accessibility module to Sun's Accessibility Toolkit, allowing Qt applications to integrate seamlessly with existing assistive technologies on Unix.

Dependencies

The bridge itself is a plugin for Qt and requires atk and glib.

Run-time behavior and overhead

The bridge won't be loaded unless assitive technologies request it, so the majority of users won't experience any overhead. Once accessibility support is requested, the bridge will allocate a few dozen bytes per widget. Impact on run time speed is neglectible.

Availability

Source code snapshots will be available early 2004.
