(by Crystal Xiao) Create a java project Create a java class Turn on narrator Show in Package explorer, the narrator does not read out the name of the view (Package explorer view). (NOT EXPECTED) Now turn on MS Jaws and show in Package explorer. The MS Jaws also does not read out the name of the view (Package explorer view). (NOT EXPECTED)
Window Eyes does not read it either. Moving to SWT as this is a limitation of CTabLabel2
Tod, did you mean CTabItem? There is no such thing in SWT as CTabLabel2. The name of the selected tab in CTabFolder is read by Jaws _IF_ you give it focus. This is the expected behaviour. It is not very straight forward in eclipse to give the CTabFolder focus because 1) the editors use SHIFT Tab for their own purposes and 2) in Views you may need to Shift+Tab a few times to get up to the folder. Commonly, Jaws users will use the shortcuts Ctrl+F6, Ctrl+F7 and Ctrl+F8 to navigate around the views, editors and perspectives because this will popup a list that will be read by Jaws.
Lin and Frank tested this too and we find that moving between views, files and perspectives with Control+F6, F7, and F8 provides an accessible way to do thia. The view titles are not window titles, but page tabs. They are properly spoken when focus falls on them.
Based on comment 4, I think there is no further work required here.
