We have found an issue involving ComboBoxes in a C# Application. JAWS is
not reading the contents of the ComboBoxes like it does in C++
Applications. When you enter a combo where there is no default item, it
says the Control Name, "ComboBox" like it should, but then it says "Zero
Items". But if there is a default item it says, the Control Name,
"ComboBox", the value of the item, and then "zero items". Is this
expected behavior? I would expect it to say some like: the Control Name,
"ComboBox", the value of the item, and something like 1 of 10.
Also in ListBox Controls, JAWS is not reading the Accessibile Name or
the Accessibile Description when you enter the control. Is that expected
behavior also?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Reading MSAA Properties
We are working with an Edit Control in a Windows Desktop Application.
The Edit Control's MSAA Properties are set using Dynamic Direct
Annotation. The MSAA Tools verify that the properties we annotate are
exposed. But we are having some difficultly with the PROPID_ACC_VALUE
property. For example, we set the PROPID_ACC_VALUE to "Mike" when the
actual value of the control is "Mike Paciello". JAWS by default reads
the actual value.
Can JAWS read the PROPID_ACC_VALUE property instead? Additionally, is
there a way for JAWS to get other MSAA properties read back to the user
like PROPID_ACC_DESCRIPTION.
Thanks for your help!
