Makes sense, so as long as the label touches the top or left of the control somewhere it "counts"? What if even a pixel separates the controls?

on the second issue, it is generally done with labels, and the label needs to be just touching the left edge or top of the edit field. so layout is a distinctly important matter. with list and combo boxes, many use the first entry to give the information, since labels do not always announce with these objects.and the edit field is a standard object with MSAA built in so the information that screen readers look for is already there; which is another note, it's better to use standard windows objects, or swt classes in java, than to use custom objects which need to have there MSAA added in manually.HTH, elf. proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" www.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Agemtree "merchants in fine facetted and cabochon gemstones" www.agemtree.com----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 9:00 PM Subject: two questions: tab groups, and jaws control labeling??Hi all,I thought it was time to ask a question that actually related to programming, so here is something that I have not quite understood: what is a tab group? I see them in html and in GUI languages, but I am not sure what good they are.My second, nearly unrelated question: how, in a gui, does jaws know what to call, say, an edit box? If you had a timer, how would you code the gui to queue jaws to prompt for hours, minutes, and seconds in the correct fields? Is this all labels? If so, how important is the format of the gui; that is, how exact do you have to be in positioning the labels and inputs so that jaws can know what label goes with what input?Have a great day, Alex New email address: mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
