[Lazarus] LCL not accessible for blind users

[Luciano de Souza]

Yes, the title of my message is not correct and not fair. I have really 
mentioned a problem restricted to Windows system.
If I understand if the developer wants to provide accessibility to his 
or her application, he or she can handle special routines to do it. What 
is currently not possible is  to have accessible native controls. Is 
this true?
It's a good news to know that the accessiblity in LCL is possible also 
to Windows. If there is no way to provide accessiblity, we would be 
undoubtedly worse. but in spite of the fact that accessiblity is perhaps 
possible in Windows, since it isn't native, only a few developers,  
interested in accessibility issues, will use these routines. The tru 
accessibility will exist when the native TLabel, TButton and the other 
LCL controls provide native accessibility.
So I ask: is there a schedule? Can blind Windows and Linux users have 
hopeness these features will be available in a short time?
