Hello All
I’m still learning macOS and could use some guidance on setting up the accessibility elements. I’m familiar with isAccessibilityElement in iOS, but not as comfortable with the process in macOS.
We have an important screen within one of our products that uses NSTabView. I’ve used the accessibility inspector and I can see it has the following properties:
Type: Group
Keyboard Focused: False
Role: AXGroup
Class: NSTabView
Identifier: _NS:311
The other properties, such as label, title, value, frame, top level UIElement, Window, etc are nil
This container includes a lot of buttons that allow a user to quickly navigate the product and complete specific tasks. We need to make it so a user can enter this group and navigate those buttons, but it currently does not work with a keyboard or with VoiceOver.
What is the best method for making this container keyboard accessible? Do we need to set the NSTabView to something like isAccessibilityElement = NO; ?
Thank you
Ted Drake
