All Eclipse view do not have tooltips for minimize and maximize icons. Neither do they get focus when hovering the mouse over the icon. Use MS Inspect Objects to see this clearly by selecting Show Highlight Rectangle from the Options menu.
*** Bug 54244 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Tooltips added.
Veronika should this be marked fixed?
The tool tips now exist. However, I need to do some more work in the area of accessiblity to have the buttons recognized by screen readers.
We are in the process of updating the accessibility information for 3.1. Is this bug going to be fixed in 3.1?
CAR to investigate this again. NOTE: If the fix is easy and safe, we should consider adding it to 3.1.1.
Fixed > 20050802. Added accessibility for chevron, maximize, and minimize buttons. VI to verify code in CTabFolder. Fix is patterned after Shell control handling of maximize & minimize buttons, i.e. the number of accessible children in a Shell title bar is constant, and children each have an assigned childID. If the child is not visible, its state will be "invisible". So, for CTabFolder there are now 3 new childID's (chevron, min, max).
In reference to comment 6 and comment 7, is this fix in both the 3.2 and 3.1.1 streams or just 3.2?
At present, it's just in the 3.2 stream. When Veronika returns from vacation, we will determine whether or not to put the fix into the 3.1.1 stream. She is the owner of class CTabFolder.
Steve W, Here's the scoop on what was fixed, so that you can help judge whether you want it back-ported to 3.1.1. The max, min, and chevron buttons are now accessible to screen readers, but users with screen readers probably won't notice the difference because those buttons don't take focus. A screen reader user would have to turn on mouse tracking or something to actually hear any difference. The buttons answer their MSAA name when asked. The max/min (view/editor) feature is available via the Window->Navigation menu or Ctrl+M, and the chevron function (next view/editor) is keyboard accessible through Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+F7, so all of these were already keyboard accessible. So, do you really need to have this back-ported?
Suggest we don't back port it unless Steve insists.
I don't think we need this back ported.
Ok.
