Description Rochelle Raccah 2001-10-29 23:25:25 UTC 
From a discussion with the a11y team:

CustomPropertyEditor:
    Use the same recommendation like for DialogDescriptor...It means
acccessibilityDescription for dialog, which displays CPE, is taken from CPE
accessibleDescription.  See issue 17110 for details.

What happens one of the standard property editors (String, Dataobject, File) are
used is still TBD.  We would like to be able to include support for customizing
the description for an individual context.  This might require addition of
support for another hint in the property editing framework.

For example, if I were to use the Data object property editor that David Strupl
recently contributed
to the core and want to provide a more specific description (like which kind of
node is going to be accepted), that should be supported.
Comment 1 _ ttran 2001-10-30 07:22:23 UTC 
will be handled by A11Y action team
Comment 2 jrojcek 2001-11-05 17:25:02 UTC 
First part (accessibleDescription of dialog is taken from CPE) is done.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2001-11-26 17:27:38 UTC 
Accessible description of dialog which shows CPE is taken from
FeatureDescriptor.getValue("description").
Commited to release33 branch, will be merged to trunk later.
