Re: Button label and Orca

John,

Sorry that didn't work for you.  I forgot that i was working with a the
drop-down menu part of a MenuToolButton.

Here is some code (gtk#) that should at least make your button
accessible:

// button
Button plusButton = new Button("+");
     	
// create a new label with the text we want read
Label l = new Label("Hello World");

// create relationships between the button and the new label
l.Accessible.AddRelationship(Atk.RelationType.LabelFor,
plusButton.Accessible);
plusButton.Accessible.AddRelationship(Atk.RelationType.LabelledBy,
l.Accessible);

With this code you will see a button labelled "+", but Orca will read
"Hello world plus button."  The screen reader still reads the "+", but
it should at least make the button accessible.  I didn't see an obvious
way to have the screen reader not read the "plus."

Hope that helps,
Brian G. Merrell
