Description Rochelle Raccah 2001-10-29 22:58:42 UTC 
From a discussion with the a11y team:

a) NotifyDescriptor.Message:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui_apis/msg/index.html
       Here is passed String message and message type. Dialog
accessibleDescription will be composed from this message and type of message.

b) NotifyDescriptor.InputLine:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui_apis/il/index.html
       Dialog accessibleDescription will be created from obtained parameters
(text, optionType, messageType)

c) NotifyDescriptor.Confirmation:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui_apis/conf/index.html
       The same as b

d) If passed message is Component then the a11y of the component is used.

If NotifyDescriptor.Exception is used, it should work as well.  I think that it
is deprecated, but existing uses should be accessible.

Comment 2 _ ttran 2001-11-02 07:15:21 UTC 
a quick question: does it mean changes in OpenAPIs?
Comment 3 Jan Benway 2001-11-02 16:53:30 UTC 
Don't know. Dusan has more info.
Comment 4 jrojcek 2001-11-05 17:07:57 UTC 
Accessible description is composed from messageType and message, where
message is the message itself (if instance of String) or accessible
description of the message (if instance of Component). If the message
type is ND.PlainMessage then message type is not part of the description.

In case of ND.InputLine, accessible description is same for each input
line dialog (not composed from textfield label).

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
