BTW, I'd also like to point out that this email and the one it
replies to (the original, not the one I'm writing) don't show up for
vo either. I have to convert the email to plain text to get it to
read these kinds of emails. Most work fine, but now and then, one
like these comes across, and sometimes, it won't convert them to
plain text, in which case, to read them, I must reply to the email,
whereupon it copies the text of the email into the html body of my
message. At that point I can read them just fine. Anyone know why
it behaves like this?

I believe Voice Over is reacting to
kAXFocusedUIElementChangedNotification.
I would guess that notification isn't being sent for your custom
controls.
The Control Manager should send that out appropriately for custom
controls, though. How are your custom controls implemented? Do they
react to the kEventControlSetFocusPart event appropriately? Are you
intercepting the tab key and driving your own focus loop?

I have a Carbon application showing a non-composite dialog with
some custom controls. I am trying to make Voice Over read those
control.
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?
Thank you
