My guess is that NSSlider (and others?) are using some private API
to do their work. I will at least be filing enhancements soon to
ensure developers are given the proper hooks.
There's also other things that VoiceOver does that I've found no
mechanism to tap into for my custom controls. I'll file
enhancements on that as well.
Nope NSAccessibilityPostNotification is what everyone uses.
What is the role of your custom control? I'm guessing it's not AXSlider?
If it was AXSlider (and assuming you implemented all the other slider
attributes/actions properly) I'd expect it to work as well with
VoiceOver as a "real" slider.
My guess is that VoiceOver is selective about what roles it registers
for notifications on. Having your custom controls stick to the
standard roles is your best bet.
I do agree that documenting (with caveats that it will change in the
future) how/when VoiceOver uses notifications would take a lot of the
mystery out of this.
That would be a good bug/feature-request.
