Hi all,
I've been experimenting with different ways to title controls for
VoiceOver and am wondering if there is a recommended way to title a
control that gets its title from 2 or more other objects? An example
would be an address field where the user needed to not only know that
the field is for the street but also that you are entering the
shipping address (as opposed to the billing address)
<SEPARATOR>SHIPPING ADDRESS
Name: <field>
Street:<field>
etc....
<SEPARATOR>BILLING ADDRESS
Name: <FIELD>
Street:<FIELD>
etc...
In this example I would want VoiceOver to say "Shipping Address,
Street" instead of just "Street" so the user knows which set of fields
they are working with. Interface Builder permits the linking of
multiple objects to the accessible title of an element but VoiceOver
will only announce one of them. I could use the description attribute
and programmatically populate it with the correct titles but I would
rather not resort to extra coding if there is already a supported way
to build labels like this. Also since voiceover handles names, titles
and descriptions differently depending on how the user is navigating
I'd like to keep this is simple as possible and get the same results
read no matter how the user is navigating.
