Description mojit CLA 2002-06-25 16:40:45 EDT 
Eclipse build F4

Resource perspective / Tasks view

Checkboxes for task items are not accessible. Identified as 'list item' w/ no 
name in MS Inspect.
Comment 1 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-06-26 11:50:21 EDT 
The check box in the Task view was not implemented by SWT - it is an image 
inserted by the desktop.

The Task view should implement AccessibleControlListener and provide role and 
state information.  This will likely not happen for release 2.0.

In the meantime the information about the task is accessible through the Task 
Properties dialog.

Yes, the properties dialog is the accessible alternative for task list items.
We should look at improving this post 2.0 though.
