Help Us Make Visual Studio More Accessible!
I'm Aaron Brethorst, the Program Manager responsible for Accessibility and User Interface Consistency throughout Visual Studio. The team I work with is very interested in building up a contact list of our users who use Visual Studio with any and all accessibility settings enabled:
- Screen readers and other assistive technologies.
- High contrast mode.
- Large fonts.
- and anything else I may have missed.
We'd love the opportunity to discuss how we can improve your experience with Visual Studio on an ongoing basis.
Please leave a comment on this weblog, or email me directly at abreth@microsoft.com.
Thanks!
Aaron

Hey Jeff (Bishop) - thanks for getting back to me on this. I'll contact you in the near future via email.
Hey Jeff (Sax) - I agree that this would very useful to Windows developers. One of my co-workers, Sara, actually did write a tool that does this for verifying proper implementation of MSAA. You can find out more about this at its <a href="http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=678c467f-3724-40f0-9de7-db440e4fa148">GotDotNet workspace</a>.
