Making Custom Components Accessible
===================================

Adding accessibility support to your custom widget will assure its cooperation
with the accessibility infrastructure. These are the general steps that are
required:

* assess a custom widget according to the applicable `human interface guidelines
  <https://developer.gnome.org/hig/>`__

* determine which accessible role a custom widget should provide, according to
  the widget's feature set and function

* update the appropriate accessible properties when the widget's content change

* update the appropriate accessible states when the widget's state changes

* update the appropriate accessible relations between the custom widget and its
  children
