Dear list,
I've got lots of questions. If there are resources that answer these
questions, please let me know. I've read all the Apple docs and headers
I can find, as well as listened to all the WWDC sessions (2002 and
2003) on this subject and combed through the presentations, but I'm
still left with some questions.
If I send the AXRoleDiscription to be simply the tool tip I have
already for my app (Carbon) is that too short?
How descriptive should these descriptions be?
What are the consequences for leaving the description blank? Does a
screen reader combine the AXRole and AXRoleDiscription and AXTitle to
describe an element?
If I have a UI element that is has no visible title (just a graphic, or
a scroll button for example) Can I leave these blank, or do I need to
add a title to these objects? Does the title for these objects need to
be localized? Are there constants that Apple already localizes (like
for scroll bars) that a developer can use rather than localize these
manually?
From how I see things the AXTitle and AXRoleDiscription will end up
being equal in many many cases, is that generally true?
Many thanks!
David Weiss
