Description Steve Goldberg CLA 2012-09-06 11:37:02 EDT
Our product uses FieldDecoration (package org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist) to indicate fields in a dialog that are required. The JAWS reader does not recognize the decoration, so there is no way to indicate a field is required to a vision-impaired user.

We have tried using the description field of FieldDecoration, but JAWS does not read that either.

Is there any update for this problem? Or is there any workaround that we can try?

Thanks

No one has looked at this.  Are you using FieldDecoration to keep track of your decorations and ControlDecoration to place them?

What does the setup code look like?

Perhaps as part of the code you have to set the decoration you could either change the tooltip or add your own accessibility listener to the widget ?

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.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
