Re: [orca-list] in need of c++ code to add accessible labels

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Wow, that's quite a job you have cut out for yourself.  Hope you get a more precise response than this.  In 
the event that you don't, you might want to try and use an IDE or something to help you find the right thing 
to add the text to.  Sometimes, the IDES will let you fill out widget attributes as though they were fields 
in a form or something.  Glade and Anjuta come to mind for GTK+.  If all else fails, try installing those on 
your machine and play around with them a bit and then see if you can determine what to label where in some 
application's source code.  I tried doing this some years back but lacked the time and patience to do a good 
job of it since my kids were still in diapers.  It's great that you are willing to take this on.  You might 
also try poling people on the program-l mailing list.  

Regards,
Alex M

hi all
I was planning to go through all of the gnome shell apps and control panel items this weekend that are 
lacking labels, set them in the code and send in patches to the bug reports I have open so they can be fixed. 
Can anyone on here give me some generic c code to set an accessible widget label and a tooltip? I don't need 
anything fancy to write callbacks since that's already been implemented in the ui code.
I just need a label and a tooltip. Then I can hook those up to the buttons. I'm assuming they go inside the 
button definition? I'm completely new at all of this so bear with me. This should dramatically improve the 
accessibility of gnome shell. Once ths is fixed I can tackle mate.
Thanks
Kendell clark
