Does anyone know what it takes to get the JAWS screen reader to pick up the correct labels for fields (edit boxes and drop boxes) in a dialog written in M$ Visual C++? The labels (static text fields) are directly above, and left aligned with, the related field. JAWS picks up the correct label for over half the fields, but on the others there is no apparent rhyme or reason for the text it reads, and for one drop box it doesn't give any caption at all.
The only reference I found, claims that the labels are assigned according to the Tab order, but it just isn't so. The only way I have found to get it to work correctly, is to define a hot-key on each of the labels. This is not an acceptible solution.
Does anyone have any experience or ideas in regard to this problem?
Thanks. |
