CustomAccServer Sample
Microsoft Active Accessibility
==============================
This sample shows how to implement a custom control with a Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) server.
The control itself has been kept simple. It does not support scrolling and therefore an arbitrary
limit has been set on the number of items it can contain. For convenience, list items are stored
in a deque (from the Standard Template Library).
The accessible object consists of the root element (a list box) and its children (the list items.)

To build the sample using Visual Studio 2008:
1. Run the Windows SDK Configuration Tool provided with the SDK to add SDK include directories to Visual Studio.
2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the project directory.
3. Double-click the icon for the .sln (solution) file to open the file in Visual Studio.
4. In the Build menu, select Build Solution. The application will be built in the default \Debug or \Release directory.
