/**
    @class wxAccessible

    The wxAccessible class allows wxWidgets applications, and wxWidgets itself,
    to return extended information about user interface elements to client
    applications such as screen readers. This is the main way in which wxWidgets
    implements accessibility features.

    At present, only Microsoft Active Accessibility is supported by this class.

    To use this class, derive from wxAccessible, implement appropriate
    functions, and associate an object of the class with a window using
    wxWindow::SetAccessible.

    All functions return an indication of success, failure, or not implemented
    using values of the wxAccStatus enum type.

    If you return @c wxACC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED from any function, the system will try
    to implement the appropriate functionality. However this will not work with
    all functions.

    Most functions work with an object @e id, which can be zero to refer to
    'this' UI element, or greater than zero to refer to the nth child element.
    This allows you to specify elements that don't have a corresponding wxWindow or
    wxAccessible; for example, the sash of a splitter window.

    For details on the semantics of functions and types, please refer to the
    Microsoft Active Accessibility 1.2 documentation.

    This class is compiled into wxWidgets only if the wxUSE_ACCESSIBILITY setup
    symbol is set to 1.
