Re: widget accessibility roles: being able to override it



Hello,

Some dialog boxes use labels for static information, e.g. printer
status, replace result, etc.  For the screen reader to properly
understand that, it should have role ATK_ROLE_STATIC.  I have not found
any way in glade's .ui format to specify this, actually ROLE_STATIC does
not appear in gtk+3.0 source code, so I guess it's just not there.

I'm thinking we could have something like

<accessibility>
  <role type="static"/>
</accessibility>

to be able to specify e.g. labels' role?

FI, I have posted a patch implementing this in gtk on 

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/109

Along the way, I found that there is

    <child internal-child="accessible">
            <object class="AtkObject">
                    <property name="AtkObject::accessible-role">ATK_ROLE_STATIC</property>
            </object>
    </child>

which is supposed to do the same, but that doesn't work:
"accessible-role" is supposed to be an int, not a string, and thus one
would have to put 117 there instead of ATK_ROLE_STATIC, which is really
going to work :)

So I'd say my proposal still make sense?
