Not 100% relevant, but I've been doing a bit of testing working in the
newish microsoft WPF platform, which I think implements user interface
automation, along with jaws 11, and while it does seem to work alright along
with microsoft's AutomationProperties namespace, the current issue is that I
can't really edit the design markup too easily since even within VS.Net the
combination I think relating to the document object model seems to sort of
'confuse' jaws, but let's see...
Will try find my small test app, and pass along the download link for it if
you want to test it a bit, and one of the reasons was looking into this was
since before jaws 11, the front end of these applications didn't seem to be
too user friendly.
Stay well
