Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard software provides hardware keyboard support. The exact implementation is dependent on OEM HW and SW design. For example, the keyboard can be supported to open and close all menus, including the Start menu, open applications, close applications, select and action on items. (b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard does not disrupt or disable any accessibility feature provided by the underlying Operating System. The platform allows for the changing of font size in applications in order to help readability. The font size is not respected in certain areas of the system where a larger font would make the application unusable in its current form (e.g. Internet Explorer Mobile 6 and Windows Media Player). The system does not disrupt or disable assistive technology from responding to the increase in font size. Independent developers choose whether or not their applications respond to this change in font size. (c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard software programmatically exposes the focus so that Assistive Technology Vendors can develop applications and interfaces that track focus and focus changes.
