Hi Ted,
Thanks for pointing out the WWDC2012 video on iOS accessibility. Unfortunately, it did not address my issue, but it did contained some valuable information nonetheless.
I think I have to clarify my problem a little bit further:
- The UI elements I work with are either standard UIKit classes (UIButton, etc) or custom UIView subclasses, but there is not custom drawing (drawRect:, etc.) involved. Also, most of the UI is generated programmatically, so Interface Builder is not involved.
- The layout is configured by the users; they can freely arrange controls like buttons, sliders etc. in a grid on the screen, and also group them visually by adding a frame around them.
- What I want to achieve is that Switch Control treats such a group of UI elements as a single “accessibility item” when auto-scrolling. Initially, it should not cycle through the child items of the group; only when the user selects the group, it should cycle through its content.
- The ratio behind this is: there can be a large number of elements on the screen, and it takes a long time to cycle through all of them individually. So I would like to improve the user experience by reducing the number of top-level items.
I’m pretty sure that there is a way of doing this, since (as mentioned in my first mail) most of Apple’s iOS apps have this feature.
I hope I could make my problem a little bit clearer now. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Martin
