I do not have the code for FilteredList, so I cannot try it.
I would have thought that JAWS would read the label text when the list takes focus - that it what it does with a platform list.
Note that the Label must immediately precede the list in the z-order, i.e. it has to be created immediately before the list is created.
You need to keep your list's role as ROLE_LIST and the items as ROLE_LISTITEM.
What happens when you add an AccessibleListener, and override getName to set the event result to the label text when the event childId is CHILDID_SELF?

The wizards that are seeing the problem are slightly odd in that the first field in the first wizard page is the filtered list. Some initial pages do not have any input fields at all. The just is just required to select an item from the list contents. I have attached a rtaher large test case that demonstrates the problems. Its built as a two page wizard to simulate a wizard being launched fromt the Eclipse->File->New wizard select menu. As it uses wizard and wizard page it does require a jface jar. Hope thats not a problem. The suggestions about setting the accessibility role does not make any difference. You will see that the the label on the list of the second wizard page is never read.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
