Just found a jaws scripting function that seems to have been there in jaws 10
as well, but now in jaws 11, the GetObjectHelp() function does in fact return
the new control/object attribute from within WPF that they all seemed to think
it would be making use of since started looking at any accessibility guidelines
for WPF etc. This is the AutomationProperties.HelpText attribute/property for
the controls, and it's contents can also be databound as such, so you could to
a certain extent control the rendered content dynamically as such.
It still however doesn't seem to be getting mentioned by jaws automatically as
such, unless you hit the jaws key + F1 key, it'll be included as what is then
called context help.
Currently testing with jaws 11.0.611 beta version for this type of thing.
Stay well
