Description Tod Creasey CLA 2003-07-21 11:26:36 EDT 
We are currently using a CLabel for the preferences page to show the title or 
errors. This cannot be navigated to currently and needs to be replaced by 
something that can take focus.
Comment 1 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-02-25 16:15:24 EST 
I have created an reusable component called the DialogMessageArea that now 
switches to using a text whenever a message (i.e. anything but the title) is 
set. This will allow tabbing to the message or error so that screen readers 
can get its contents.

This is currently in use in Preference dialog so all preference and property 
dialogs will get this behaviour for free.

Adding Doug so that he is aware of the change.
