Section 508 Compliance - Allow Narrator to read toolbars and menus

created 18 years ago

My customer requested 508 compliant for my software (used expressBar). But I found:
When I use Narrator (windows accessories->accessibility), it cannot read menu's captions or subitems in each menu which are from expressBar.
Narrator can read all other software's menus without any problem.
Thanks in advance.

Our ExpressBars and ExpressNavBar Suites support Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA). For more information, refer to Accessibility Support.

Accessibility support is among our strategic pillars for VCL UI components in 2024. Please review the "VCL Accessibility Enhancements and Keyboard Support" section in our Roadmap (v24.1) for more details.

Could your team send us a list of the most critical accessibility issues for you and your clients? This information will help us prioritize our future development.

Thanks,
