I hoped so to. But they are announced as text by mighty screenreaders as
JAWS for example, though Thunder that is not very powerfull and takes only
MSAA information into account works properly.

I am not very familiar with MFC that is used to develop TSVN, but at least
using WUI you can for example get the information of a class by calling
'GetClassInfoEx', then change the class name by changing the 'lpszClassName'
member of the 'WNDCLASSEX' structure leaving the other fields untouched to
preserve the functionality of the newly registered class and 'lpfnWndProc'
callback procedure to be taken from original class and then register class
by calling 'RegisterClassEx' function - this will not change the
functionality of the newly registered class from the original one. Isn't
something similar possible in MFC?

Ok, thank you.

Ok, let me to think what could be done here...
