Workaround

As a temporary solution, use the WindowsFormsSettings.DisableAccessibility property to disable accessibility as follows:

C#
WindowsFormsSettings.DisableAccessibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
Visual Basic
WindowsFormsSettings.DisableAccessibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
