Provision C

Check Your Knowledge

Read the statement below and select the response that is most accurate. You will receive immediate feedback.

One option for conforming to Provision C is to design your software so that it overrides pre-existing interface objects built into the Windows environment.

  1. *True.
  2. False.

You selected "A. True."

That is incorrect. The correct answer is “B. False.” Designing software that does not override pre-existing, built-in, interface objects is not an option – it is mandatory. Interface objects existing within Windows are already accessibility-enabled. Users with visual disabilities rely on these Windows-defined interfaces. Your program may become unusable if these objects are overridden.
