It's possible some of the widgets I have as permanent widgets on the site will have support down the line once I get time for it. I believe there is articles on Eclipse.org for Accessibility, and I'm no expert on it, so I think you will find better resources there than what I could provide. Cheers, Emil Hi Vikash,

I am also a very enthusiastic developer and keep on creating a custom controls same like you did here . I saw in your code that you are using lots of FONTS, COLOR and IMAGES. so I am not sure if you are following MSAA standards (Microsoft Active Accessibility Support). Did you tested your custom widget with different screen resolution? If this is not working how would you handle the Accessibility events for different OS screen resolution. Kepping in mind that we are not using SWT/JFACE provided fonts and color and creating our new instance of these. I am currently working in a RCP application which is going to use by more than 50k users worldwide (and keeo growing). Our Testing team has tested newly created custom controls by IBM JAW’s and unfortunately they failed in the test. So can you please advise me how we can create custom controls with our own fonts and Colors which should also work on accessibility point of view (In other words if we can use JFACEResource/Font/Color Registry in appropriate way). Would really appreciate if you can help me out. Thanks in bunch Vikash Emil,

The code is EPL, so you're pretty much free to do whatever you want with it. Hope that helps :-). If you wish to leave credit, just put a comment at the top of the source file(s) that contain a link to Hexapixel, but as it's EPL that's completely up to you. Glad you find a good use for it.

I would like to reuse your custom widget code in an app that I am willing to make freely available with its sources. Is it possible ? what's the licence of your code if any ? How can I point back to you in the sources of my app. Cheers. Hi there,
