Carbon Accessibility
Overview
This section describes the functions some Carbon developers may need to use to access-enable their applications.
This section describes the constants that define accessibility events and aspects of accessibility objects. The accessibility event constants are defined in CarbonEvents.h in the Carbon framework. The accessibility object constants are defined in header files in the ApplicationServices framework.
Overview
This document describes the Carbon accessibility API. You use this API to make your Carbon application accessible to assistive applications and technologies, a process called access enabling.
