Of course I did. Using WxPerl, Win32::GUI Perl module, SWT and DotNet.
(And without doing absolutely anything special for making them accessible).

But it is very simple to test this. You can download a demo version of JAWS screen reader from
www.freedomscientific.com
that will run for 40 minutes or so and then you will need to reboot the computer to make it work again.

It is the most used and most powerful screen reader. You will be able to see how accessible (or not accessible) are the applications made with any GUI lib.
