JFace ToolTip Accessibility [message #330303] Thu, 24 July 2008 19:20 Go to next message

Hi,

I have extended the JFace ToolTip class. I have it working very nicely
visually. However, how do I make it accessible to screen readers like
JAWS? I have been unable to give the tip focus programmatically when it
is displayed. Nor do I know how a JAWS user might be able to give focus
to the tip.

Thanks,
Mike Higginbotham

This is because the ToolTip-Shell is create with the NO_FOCUS-flag I
guess. I have no idea how accessability works in this case :-( You could
ask at the SWT-Newsgroup how to deal with NO_FOCUS-Shells and Accessability

Thanks for the response and explanation. I had noticed that in the code.

Thanks,
