Bug 97671 [preferences] Java Preference Pages using in accessible Color selection
Reported: 2005-05-31 15:16:05 | Status: verified fixed

RC1 The Linked Mode and Syntax colouring pages are both using a color button with no accessibility information. When someone using a screen reader selects it they will get no feedback as to what the button is for - just a random graphic. I assume you are not using the JFace ColorSelector as that has an accessible listener. Here is our code in ColorSelector if you need it for reference: fButton.getAccessible().addAccessibleListener(new AccessibleAdapter() { /* * (non-Javadoc) * * @see org.eclipse.swt.accessibility.AccessibleAdapter#getName(org.eclipse.swt.accessibility.AccessibleEvent) */ public void getName(AccessibleEvent e) { e.result = JFaceResources.getString("ColorSelector.Name"); //$NON-NLS-1$ } });
