Hi,
I have a

ListViewGadget()

in my program that I use the

Code: Select all

#PB_ListView_ClickSelect

flag on. This works fine, but I want the list to give slightly more feedback to screen reader users on Windows, so I figured I'd set the role of each item to a checkbox. However, I can't figure out how to do it. It seems that PB (quite helpfully) has the

Code: Select all

IAccessible

interface wrapped, but it only contains

Code: Select all

put_accName

and

Code: Select all

put_accValue

, nothing about roles. You can get the role, but not easily set it. Is it possible to do what I'm trying a different way?
Thanks!

Do you mean something like this?

Wow, thank you so much! This works amazingly! The only thing I need to do now is make the states report properly. Currently they always say unchecked, and selected/not selected is reported when I hit space. Where are the Microsoft docs for these interfaces?

You can do this in a similar way.
I don't know much about the accessibility, but you might need to call the NotifyWinEvent function.

You can do this in a similar way.
I don't know much about the accessibility, but you might need to call the NotifyWinEvent function.
