Voice over has problems with carbon appes to begin with, and I've
never found a custom control that voiceover could read. It sees most
carbon items, though it doesn't know what most of them are, but even
under cocoa, custom controls give it a problem. Perhaps I'm not
getting the whole picture (after all, I rely on voice over for my
access), so it's possible things act differently, and I just don't
see them working, because they look like other things to voice over,
but on apps that misbehave, it's generally with carbon apps, and
especially with custom controls.
If you find a solution to this, please let me know, there's a couple
shareware authors I'd like to feed the info to so their apps can be
more accessible.

I have a Carbon application showing a non-composite dialog with

I noticed that even when I can tab to my custom controls and I can
use an accessibility inspector and see all the attributes, the
Voice Over focus (black rectangle) does not stop on them. It just
remains in the previous control.
Is there any property or accessibility attribute I need to set to
make them work like regular controls for voice over?
It probably does not matter, but just in case one of my controls is
a custom databrowser (elements are accessibility objects, not
actual controls). The other is a custom tab control (each tab
button is a control).
Additionally. I have a Picture Control on that same dialog. I'd
like Voice Over to read a description of the picture when tabbing
to it. However, I cannot get this to work since the Picture Control
never takes focus. Is there any way around this?
