NB200401201900, JDK1.4.2. I have opened a select dialog using "NodeOperation.getDefault().select ...", and the opened dialog is not accessible (see the attached report from the accessibility tester). I am attaching the source used to invoke the dialog.
Created attachment 13035 [details] The result from the accessibility tester.
Created attachment 13036 [details] The code used to open the dialog.
This dialog is invoked by the tasklist module.
Yes you are right, accessibility support is simply missing in this dislog, which is directly created by system and created dialog instance is not passed back to the client code. However, this is enhancement to the dialog infrastructure, will probably also mean some added API or other mechanism to pass in accessible context.
*** Issue 39437 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Are you planning on fixing this for NB 3.6? Just wondering so that I can tell the quality engineers what to do about my bugs that depend on it :)
Accessibility is a requirement. This should be fixed for 3.6.
OK, Jiri please evaluate further. Maybe I'm wrong and no API will be needed, as NodeOperation.select produces still the same specialized dialog. Btw, question to QA - is there any way how could development verify accessibility fixes itself? Making a probable fix that came from some magic accessibility tester that I nevew saw and without a chance to actually see the effects of fix is very, very strange - how could I even be responsible of such work? All in all - we *are willing to fix* these issues, but we need an access to accessibility tester, and we need pointers and general wisdom about accessibility rules. Thanks.
Dafe & spol. http://a11y.netbeans.org/Instructions.html or just download module Accesibility from Netbeans Update Center and then run IDE with -J-Da11ytest.IDE=true switch and new icon in toolbars appears (invalida ;)), run "UI Accessibility Tester"=[UIAT] by pressing this icon. And you can test accessibility now ;) How ? Press "Run Test" in UIAT and then after "CTRL+F11" the selected window/dialog will be tested. Everything described on a11y.netbeans.org in more details ;)
responsibility of org.netbeans.core.windows.services.FileSelector

It seems quite OK in 200402051900. There are some warnings in the report (see attachement), but these are (IMO) OK. The reason why I am reopening this bug is that the Accessible Name of the org.openide.explorer.ExplorerPanel is set to "ACSN_FileSelectorExplorerPanel", which seems like unresolved key into a bundle.
Created attachment 13303 [details] The report from the A11Y tester.
thanks for discover the missing read from bundle, is fixed
Verified in 200402111900.
