COM Interop and the Running Object Table: msg#00083

Subject: COM Interop and the Running Object Table
Greetings.
 
One question that I have absolutely no clue if there is a solution for.  I'm
writing an application that will be used by, amongst other things, blind
people (I can safely say this, because I am, well, a blind people, and I'll
be debugging this app).  At any rate, somewhere along the line in this
application there will be a data grid.  Changing the dataGrid1.Accessible*
properties on navigation still cause JAWS, which is an "accessibility
client", to read the data grid as "Table", which is its AccessibleRole.
 
Now, with JAWS being a COM client (this factoid and a clever little add-in
that slurps up various information from the environment is what allows me to
design user interfaces and know what's overlapping with what), I can sort of
enhance navigation a little by providing macros that get called whenever
someone, say, presses the right arrow within a data grid.  Have I confused
everyone yet?  No?  Excellent.  What I want to do is add a .NET object (not
necessarily my main form object, but something to export various application
information to JAWS) to the running object table.  To save my hide, though,
I can't find a way to add a COM-visible .NET object to the running object
table.  Suggestions?
