Accessibility and the MFC Ribbon

$

What is the best way to implement accessibility for the MFC ribbon controls. I am trying to set up a provider/server type app written in MFC that has a ribbon tool bar with many ribbons and menu's.

It seems as though a screen reader cannot read the text for a button by default like the articles seem to indicate. Trying to implement the UI Automation provider interface did not succeed because of the message handling... so what is the best way?

Can you point me to an article or multiple articles with examples that will help?

or is this a known issue, that the ribbon is not fully functional for accessibility when written using MFC?

I have tried the sample app and it has the same issue of not announcing the text when tabbing through the buttons with a screen reader.

Using VS2013

Thank you!
