I have a custom view that is a subclass of NSView with a bunch of
subviews. When Voiceover is on it will speak the text that is in the
subviews but that's not what I want. I would like my view class to
control what is spoken but I can't figure out how to do it. I would
also like to have it speak when the view is clicked on.
How can I set the text of what's spoken ? Is there a method like
setToolTip ?
How can I make the subviews NOT speak.I don't need it to say "image"
when the mouse is over an image" I want it to describe the image.
How can I get it to speak when my view gets keyboard focus ?
You'll need to create the proper accessibility hierarchy for this.
i.e. enable accessibility on your container view and potentially
disable it for its subviews.
You'll also get better served on the dedicated accessibility-dev
list. Accessibility engineers frequent that list. You can also
search its archives for a list of helpful tools as well as code
examples.
