Abstract
Described is a technology including a mechanism that when activated, detects a call to a device independent bitmap. An appropriate mirror driver, such as one or more registered as an accessibility driver, may then be notified of the call. The mechanism may be activated upon creation or selection of the device independent bitmap, and may comprise a wrapper/driver that, from the perspective of the mirror driver, simulates a call to a device dependent bitmap. The notification may be performed by having the driver communicate a function call that emulates a drawing primitive to the mirror driver.
