Description Sky Yan CLA 2007-11-27 06:35:12 EST 
Accessibility is not implement in SWT cocoa. VoiceOver/Accessibility Inspect can not recognize any widgets. 

Meanwhile, keyboard accessibility also is unable. We can not use TAB key to navigate all  widgets.

As of 9/25, it looks like basic accessibility is working in the Cocoa build. Accessibility Inspector shows attributes for controls when I move the mouse over them, but VoiceOver isn't doing anything at the component level.

From what I recall, this is really easy to add. I think you have to explicitly turn on one accessibility feature to make it VoiceOver aware.

You can assign this to me if you want.

First checked in >= 10-14-2008. StyledText isn't being reported to VoiceOver, but just about everything else is there.
