question about the slider control with the screen readers


Recommended Posts

Hi guys
I have a question about the slider  controle
There is a problem with screen readers, wen we Using a screen reader We usually move between GUI controls using the tab key.
But when you create a slider , beside to it there are  buttons and check boxes or any other controls, When I move between the GUI controls using the tab key I can not find the slider.
But if it were alone in the window, I would find it normally.
Is there a solution to Solve this problem please?
This is the code i tried

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <SliderConstants.au3>
main()

Func main()
    GUICreate("slider", 200, 200, -1, -1)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("slider", 10, 10, 240, 50)
    Local $idSlider1 = GUICtrlCreateSlider(50, 30, 200, 20, BitOr($TBS_DOWNISLEFT, $TBS_BOTH))
    GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 100, 0)

;GUIStartGroup("")
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreatebutton("Value?", 75, 70, 70, 20)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    GUICtrlSetData($idSlider1, 10)
while 1
switch GUIGetMsg()
case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
exit

case $idButton
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "slider1", GUICtrlRead($idSlider1))
endSwitch
Wend
EndFunc

[Click and drag to move]

By default, the slider does not have a tab stop.  If you want it to have a tab stop then look at the code below.  Note that $WS_TABSTOP was added to the definition of the slider control.

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <SliderConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form2 = GUICreate("Form2", 216, 121, 335, 192)
Global $Slider1 = GUICtrlCreateSlider(8, 16, 150, 45, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_SLIDER,$WS_TABSTOP))
Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 72, 75, 25)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $Slider1
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "slider1", GUICtrlRead($Slider1))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

 

Also, when showing code, could you please use the code tags?  It makes it much easier to read and it creates links to the help file for commands that are recognized.

@nacerbaaziz

I understand now.  I thought that you were creating tools for people who use screen readers.  I didn't realize that you use a screen reader also.

Are there any specific tags I can use in the editor to place the code?

@nacerbaaziz

Although you won't get the color-coding and links, you can wrap your code in the following tags to get it to format it in a code box:

You can place [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end of the code snippet.

So it will look something like this: (hint: Press Shift+Enter for new line within code, if you are manually typing it)

[code]
local $a
$a += 1
[/code]

 

Then it will look like this:

local $a
$a += 1
