Hi,
I noticed on the Scintilla webpage that version 1.62 of the control exposes its text data through Microsoft Active Accessibility to be supportive of screen readers. Downloading the newest version of SciTE confirms this claim.
However, the wxStyledTextControl packaged with wxPython 2.5.4.1, which is supposedly using Scintilla 1.62, does not expose this information. Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Pete

The only thing I saw added in Scintilla is that it moves an invisible "system caret" around with the real caret in order for screen readers to be able to follow. I added the same code in the wx specific layers but have no way to test if it is working.
