hi
I haven't uploaded my work anywhere, but I can if you want. I've
looked at both glade and anjuta, and while they're accessible orca
lags quite badly when trying to use them. I think it's largely due to
the large trees. I need to play around a lot more with those two. Do
they have specific support for adding accessible labels to items or do
you need to write the xml code manually? A best practices document
would really be helpful. Once we've gotten gnome shell fixed we should
document how it was done. I'll be gone for about three hours tomorrow
but as soon as I get back I'll turn my computer on. Where should I
upload my xml files? I can attach them here, but I'd like a more
permanent place. I don't have dropbox, at least it's not installed and
I'm not sure how to use google docs.
Thanks
Kendell clark

Hi Kendell,

did you upload your current development somewhere? so i could play
a little arround for try to find the problem. its a good thing what
you are doing here :). I realy like to help you with this work. 
maybe whe should document it somewhere "best practice" for make
your app fit for a11y. to your xml problem. i think its easyer to
modify the xml (.ui files) in glade insteed doing it "manuel".
Maybe you should take a look to glade. I m currently at work so i
can´t check how accessible glade is.

Cheers Chrys

Betreff: [orca-list] update on adding labels to unlabeled gnome
buttons

hi all Just an update on my progress of adding labels to unlabeled
buttons in gnome applications and control center icons. This is a
ton harder than I thought it would be. I'm kind of at a loss as to
where to go from here. First I tried adding labels to the ui files,
which are xml. The labels were something like, <child
internal-child=accessible> <object = atkObject id=NameOfButton> 
this is paraphrased, because I can't remember the exact cintax 
<accessibleName  translatable=yes "ButtonLabel> </object> </child> 
After a ton of xml errors I finally got gnome disks, which I was 
testing on, to compile. The button I was trying to label was the 
unmount button. It seemed to work, but orca reported "unmount
panel" "unmount this partition" instead of "unmount push button"
"unmount this partition" I'm stumped, and I'm not sure what to do
next. Am I not supposed to modify the xml, and instead modify the c
code? If so, where in the world do I start?

Thanks Kendell clark
