Re: rebuilding wx widgets with accessible addons

Dietmar


Can't thank you enough.

While the StaticLabel mention was a bust (I'd tried that already as=20
that's how I used to do things years ago), something about either the=20
way you wrote, or the git hub post, had me going down the route of=20
wx.Accessible, and writing this:


class AccessibleSlider(wx.Accessible):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 def __init__(self, widget, name=3D"Custom Widget"):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 super().__init__()
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 self.widget =3D widget
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 self.name =3D name

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 def GetName(self, childId):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 """Return the accessible name."=
""
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 return (wx.ACC_OK, self.name)

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 def GetValue(self, childId):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 """Return the accessible value.=
"""
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 return (wx.ACC_OK, str(self.wid=
get.GetValue()))

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 def GetRole(self, childId):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 """Return the accessible role (=
e.g., slider, button)."""
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 return (wx.ACC_OK, wx.ROLE_SYST=
EM_SLIDER)

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 #def GetDescription(self, childId):
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 #"""Return an additional descri=
ption."""
 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 #return (wx.ACC_OK, "This is a =
custom accessible slider.")


Low and behold, sld.SetAccessible witht that, we have a gorgious slider=20
label.

I've commented out get description because it read that description out=20
every time and it got massively annoying very fast.

Combine that with using SetLabel on wx.listctrl, sticking to SetName for=20
wx.textctrl and I think. *think* I'm there! A happy upgrade.


Goign to feel weird running a modern wx python version for the firs=20
ttime in years :)


Course, this is where you mention wx.Accessible is being removed in the=20
next pull request :)


Thanks for sticking with me, and don't hesitate to let me know if you=20
want me to try something else.
