Re: Name of Accessible (Not the Label Name)



Hi Udayan and Evan;

In the case you mention below, the assistive technology should check for the presence of the Accessibility_Text interface. In most cases (i.e. other than text entry fields, for instance), the assistive technology should expose the contents of the Text interface to the end-user, not the 'name' property. This would solve your problem/issue.

I agree that widget accessible-name properties should be end-user-usable as well.

regards

Bill

Hi All,

I have been using "cspi" (i.e. at-spi) library in my application.
Scenario is that I am using HTML programming on web page and the
application is executing in GNOME environment (GTK+ is for UI and C
Programming).

So the web page has something like this :


.....

<p>
<label for="Label2">Label2:</label>
<input type="text" name="Lb2" id="Label2" value="Some Text" />
</p>

[...]
Now if i click on the text box that Label2 will have then the output
that I get is :

Name of event's source : Label2
I think that's the correct behavior.
"Lb2" is the programming name of the textfield, not visible to users,
while "Label2" labeled the textfield, is just what's meaningful to end
users.
So from accessibility's aspect, we should expose "Label2" but not "Lb2"
to users.

But I want to get the "name" i.e. "Lb2".

Which API should I use to get this done ? Any inputs would be great.

Thanks in advance..

Udayan
