    @Annabelle said in Qt Programming Language:

    I hope this works with Windows 7 in its default state, that is, with no further updates than I have.

    What is the "default state"? Do you have Service Pack 1 installed, at least?

    The System Requirements document says that the minimum supported version is Windows 7 SP1: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/vs2017-system-requirements-vs

    The reason why I ask this is because whenever I update the operating system, those updates end up breaking compatibility with my screenreader, which causes me to have to restore my machine and reinstall all my apps.

    What happened when you tried to reinstall your screen reader after the update?

    Accessibility was completely broken. Yes, I do have Service Pack 1 installed. That's the farthest it will go with JAWS 15.0. And no, I don't have $1000 to upgrade to the latest version of JAWS.

    Even after reinstalling JAWS? (Just reinstalling, not upgrading)

    I've double-checked my machine, and it does indeed have Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1 installed.

    Good.

    Any progress?

      Yes, even after reinstalling JAWS, so I had to completely reinstall all aps on June 13, 2018, and it's been running fine since then, and I don't plan to update Windows beyond Service Pack 1, since that's what caused the problems. JAWS 15 doesn't like those new updates. I still haven't Installed Visual Studio Community yet, though I'm going to try now.

        Nothing yet. I couldn't even install the current version of Visual Studio Community unless I update Microsoft.net Framework, and even that is risky for fear of breaking screenreader accessibility. That was part of the thing that got me in trouble to where I had to restore my machine. I don't want to have to do that again!

          The latest version of Visual C++ Redistributable that my machine can run without broken accessibility is 2015. I tried downloading Visual Studio Community 2015 from the link you mentioned, but it won't let me unless I join some program in order to access previous versions. What's up with that, I wonder?

            @JKSH I'm reading the tutorials, and I'm searching for an important part of programming language that makes a program's accessibility features show up from the beginning, but it's not in any of the tutorials. A blind guy who contacted me via Email a few days ago, who says he's not even a programmer, told me about something he referred to as "Tab Stops". These are, from what he explained, parameters that one can get to by pressing the Tab and Shift+Tab keys. According to his explanation, a tab stop is like a place marker in a window that can be reached with the tab key. Some applications have the field name and
            data for their tab stops in a different order than the actual
            controls, which means that when we tab around, we end up activating
            unintended things. Where do I search for how to program those? In regards to gender-specific text replacement, this same guy told me about something he called "Verbal Analytics". In his explanation regarding this parameter, he says that there are databases that analyze writing statistically; they indicate
            which words are used, how they are used, how most sentences in the
            piece of writing are constructed, etc. Does that parameter work in C++? If so, is that the same concept you were telling me about? I'm confused on this one!

              Do you mean https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ ? That's just Microsoft's way of encouraging people to use the latest version (2017). Are you willing to create an account to get Visual Studio 2015?

              The tutorial is for learning the basics of C++. Accessibility features, tab stops, and verbal analytics are a lot more advanced, so they are not in that tutorial.

              Please focus on learning the basics first, before you move on to advanced topics. This will take time: A few weeks, at the very least.

              No, I was talking about something much simplier called string manipulation. Verbal analytics is a sophisticated mathematical/statistical analysis technique. You don't need this to generate gender-specific text.

                Is creating an account at that link something where I would have to give them any personally identifyable information like credit card numbers? If not, I'm absolutely willing to create an account to access older downloads.

                  It should not ask for anything like a credit card. It will probably ask for an existing account you have with MS, or create a new one. You will have to supply it with your email address, I would not expect anything more than that.

                          if you look lower down the page there is a link for downloading the 2015 version too.

                            I can't find it. My screenreader shows a link that says "Free Download", but it's the 2017 version.

                              Well I don't know what it looks like in a screen reader but there is a link called 'Expand All' when that is expanded there is a button to click for downloading.

                              It will ask you for your Microsoft login details. You have to be a member of the Visual Studio Subscription site, you can sign up for free and get the free stuff after that.
                              I think they are only giving access to old stuff through this site.

                                  Hi. We cannot say about screen-reader access, but I think the direct link for the VS2015 download is

                                  https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual studio 2015&wt.mc_id=o~msft~vscom~older-downloads

                                  It will still make you log into your MS account to access it, but hopefully that route will work for you.

                                      Great! Just to double-check: During installation, did you select the option for C++ development?

                                      Your next step is to start making your way through the tutorials, starting from Chapter 0. Sections 0.1 to 0.5 provide introductory knowledge; section 0.6 "Installing an Integrated Development Environment" talks about installing Visual Studio (which you have already done); section 0.7 "Compiling your first program" is where the really important stuff begins. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully!

                                        It didn't give me that option in the initial installation.

Also, it installed, in addition to Visual Studio 2015, two programs with which I'm not familiar. Microsoft Silverlight, and Microsoft Expression. What do these programs do? Are they necessary components for running Visual Studio Community? If not, is there a way to safely uninstall them without taking away from Visual Studio Community? Also, this new installation has caused my machine to take a little more time between the Windows Logon screen and JAWS starting up. What's up with that, I wonder?

                                          Sorry for the late reply.

                                          Yes, that's the one I meant. Install "Visual C++" so that you can build C++ programs.

                                          Also, it installed, in addition to Visual Studio 2015, two programs with which I'm not familiar. Microsoft Silverlight, and Microsoft Expression. What do these programs do? Are they necessary components for running Visual Studio Community?

                                          Microsoft Silverlight is a technology to create rich interactive websites, similar to Adobe Flash. However, both Silverlight and Flash have fallen out of favour these days.

                                          Microsoft Expression is a program to edit HTML documents.

                                          Neither component is necessary to run Visual Studio Community.

                                          If not, is there a way to safely uninstall them without taking away from Visual Studio Community?

                                          If you click the "Modify" button again, are you able to uncheck the checkboxes for Silverlight and Expression?

                                          Also, this new installation has caused my machine to take a little more time between the Windows Logon screen and JAWS starting up. What's up with that, I wonder?

                                          I'm not sure. None of the Visual Studio components run at startup so they shouldn't have any impact on startup time.
