Now that the WWDC crunch is over, I can get through some of my email
backlog...

I've noticed several issues with accessibility support in standard Mac
controls for Carbon apps that behave correctly in Cocoa apps (this is
in
10.3.4).
- The DataBrowser doesn't report row contents properly. Checkboxes,
menus, relevance items are all reported as "text" or "text field".
Needless to say, there's no way to check a check box in a DataBrowser
that reports itself as a text field. There is also no way to select a
row (its "selected" attribute is not writable).
These are all known problems whose fixes are either already in Tiger or
which will be in Tiger.
- Controls don't appear to respond to accessibility actions properly
when the target app is in the background e.g. sliders don't send
kEventControlHit nor call their action proc, tab switchers don't switch
among others.
- Scrollbars don't send kEventControlHit when their values are set,
even
when the app is in the foreground.
Good catch. Please write those two problems up.
The apps I used to experiment with are AppearanceSample and
BasicDataBrowser in the Carbon samples folder.
Are these known issues and if so, when are the fixes expected to be
rolled out?
Thanks,
dan
