There are several textBlocks on the screen that present useful information to the user but are not a part of the tab order and never get focus. Jaws does a fairly good job with these in Silverlight where it loads everything in a virtual buffer. However, with a WPF app, jaws doesn't pick up anything at all. Also, UIA exposes a whole lot of information with grids but none of the screen readers seem to give me even very basic support for content in tables, let alone full table support. Combo boxes are announced as "combo boxes" and that is the end of it. I cannot figure out any way of reading the contents and current selection inside a combo box. With NVDA, I am able to get to most of the textblocks and grid cells using object navigation. Object navigation is however, hardly a good way of accessing an application as a user and gives very little sense of the layout of the content on the screen. I also tried the demo version of the new window eyes 7.5 (it has UIA support now) and got results comparable to NVDA but because of lack of WE's capability or my lack of practice with that product (not to mention the very irritating 30 minute limit before re-boot), I couldn't make much progress. Has anyone done any work on these problems and made any more progress - specially with jaws or any other screen reader? __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts This e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
