Creating Accessible Forms
See Also
To ensure that your GUI forms and the components contained within
them meet accessibility requirements, you can adjust their accessibility
properties. A GUI is considered accessible when it works with various
assistive technologies, such as screen readers.
The following properties can be edited to aid accessibility:
- Accessible Name. Sets the name for the component.
By default, the name is set to the component's text property value.
- Accessible Description. Sets the description for the component.
- Accessible Parent. Sets the name of the accessible parent
component.
To edit a form or component's accessibility properties:
- In the Inspector window, select the form or component whose accessibility
properties you want to modify.
- In the Properties window, click the Properties tab and scroll down
to the Accessibility properties.
- Click the ellipsis (...) button to open the Property Editor and then enter
the desired value. Alternately, you can click the current property value to
select it and enter a new value.
The IDE stores the updated accessibility information in the selected component.
