forms mode and use accessible name are set to different values. Are they supposed to be? Is forms mode a jaws thing in this context or something specific to active x. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Paciello" <mpaciello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 8:34 AM Subject: JAWS and AccessibleName We are working on an application that could use a little better support on the JAWS end. I've submitted this to a couple of the Freedom support folks but haven't heard back yet. Might as well get some consensus here.... We've made a lot of progress with WindowEyes but am having problems with Jaws. We're working on a product that is to support MSAA. It is an ActiveX control that runs in the browser. It was built with Microsoft's ATL. The windowhierarchy looks like: IEFrame IDX Web Framework - Microsoft Internet Shell DocObject View Internet Explorer_Server ATL:02708808 ! ATL:0C611368 ! ATL:02708518 ! WindowsForms10.Window.8.app16 ! ATL:6604D5E0 IDXtermWindow The IDXtermWindow is the one I am interested in. I have added the following to the JActiveX.ini file. Most of its presentations are dialog subforms that the user navigates with TAB and SHIFT-TAB. However, Jaws does not read the Accessibility Names I have added for my controls. For example, prior to an edit field, I have a label "Patient": but have set an Accessibility Name of "Patient Lookup" which Jaws ignores. What changes can I make to the following to make it work correctly? Does anyone have a clue as to the solution?
