| James,
I already return the selected row and columns for the attributes AXSelectedRows and AXSelectedColumns when a range of cells is selected, but this doesn't effect VoiceOver.
The AXTable role seems to work fine, but it would be nice to have some shortcuts to select one or multiple columns/rows in the table as well as support for a selected range of cells.
Regards,
Daniel

I created a custom spreadsheet view and use the AXTable role for the role attribute of the NSAccessibility Protocol. This works fine and when I use VoiceOver and change the selected cell the VoiceOver cursor follows the new selected cell. My spreadsheet view also allows multi selection (range of cells), but the AXTable role seems to support single selection only.
Any hints how to add multi selection to an object using AXTable role?
Regards,
Daniel
Daniel,
AXTable was designed with table views in mind rather than spreadsheet tables. To that end, AXSelectedRows or AXSelectedColumns can handle selection of multiple selected discontiguous rows or columns, but there is no real concept of a selected set of cells. I would be very interested to hear about any other limitations you might encounter as well.
