Accessibility control issue on textbox

jaejun lee 0

I set the audio guide string for screen reader(accessibility) to text box and text block component, But Narrator only reads "no item in view". Which properties should I set for textbox or textblock?

<Grid>
                                <TextBlock IsHitTestVisible="False" FontSize="13" Name="AddTitle" AutomationProperties.Name="{x:Static p:Resources.AddTitle}" Text="{x:Static p:Resources.AddTitle}" Padding="0" Margin="8"  Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="#313c6c" Opacity="0.5" Width="150"  Visibility="{Binding Text.IsEmpty,ElementName=Title, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" FontFamily="{Binding Source={x:Static glob:CultureInfo.CurrentCulture}, Converter={StaticResource TextBlockFontFamilyConverter}, ConverterCulture={x:Static glob:CultureInfo.CurrentCulture}, ConverterParameter='3'}"/>
                                <TextBox x:Name="Title" Height="32" Width="390" Margin="0,0,0,16" AutomationProperties.LabeledBy="{Binding ElementName=AddTitle}" AutomationProperties.Name="{x:Static p:Resources.AddTitle}" VerticalAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left"  Style="{StaticResource WaterMarkTextBox}"/>

Hi @jaejun lee ,Welcome to Q&A.

From what I've tested, you can't use IsHitTestVisible="False" which makes it unreadable.

<TextBox x:Name="textBox1" AutomationProperties.Name="jack" />

Here is an example for AutomationProperties.Name.

This is the official documentation for AutomationProperties.

Best Regards,

First of all, I removed IsHitTestVisible="False", but still Narrator reads as "no item in view". And I use textbox and textblock to set the alt text, so to make textbox focused, and textblock not focused, I used IsHitTestVisible. And I added the "Automation.Properties.Name" property to textbox, but still same.

Hi @jaejun lee，Can you give me a minimal reproducible use case? What's your windows version? This works fine for me on Windows 11 Enterprise 22h2(I got a mistake.)

Hi @jaejun lee，I tested my code in Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2 and Narrator will say "Jack". You may need to upgrade your system. Can you provide the resources mentioned in your code? Text.IsEmpty WaterMarkTextBox p:Resources.AddTitle BooleanToVisibilityConverter etc. Give me a minimal use case that can be achieved. Is your screen Reader a built-in function of Windows?

I used Narrator to check the audio guide And which resources do you need? whole xaml code?

Yes, I need those information bound in your xaml code. After using IsHitTestVisible="False" on my machine, it is indeed as you said, but I can use it normally after deleting it. It is also possible that the current problem is caused by the resources you are binding.

If you need more code blocks, then let me know. And I found that "No item in view" issue has happened specific environment. Windows 11 21H2. Could you check if the issue is related to the OS version?

These are the textbox code block, and I cannot share the whole code block. Could you check with that?

Hi @jaejun lee ,sorry for late reply. After testing, it is also possible to read the sound in 21h2. But it requires you to select the target button. Do you want autoplay all controls? Try to give name value directly, can it also not read it?
