Re: [orca-list] Label versus name

[Marc Sabatella <marc outsideshore com>]

Yes.  Also, if I override liocusOfFocusChanged, I can get it to read the name explicitly, and then if I could ever figure out how to get the value correctly I'd read that, but I don't really want to do that manually.  I want to get it read normally but force it to use the accessible name in preference to the label.  So I was hoping to maybe just override some function that can tell spinboxes to prefer accessible name.

Does the accessible name show up in Accerciser?
