Place text labels immediately to the left or immediately above the control. Screen readers use proximity to identify labels if they are not exposed programmatically. Avoid having multiple objects with the same name on the same form or dialog if they do not perform the same function. When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images must be consistent throughout an application. Testing Test the software to ensure that it complies with accessibility requirements.
Several techniques are available to verify that the labels are accessible.
Run Inspect Objects . As you position the mouse over objects, verify that the name, role and value fields are available. Run the software with a screen reader and verify that all text in client windows can be spoken.
