Description Ana.von Klopp 2004-01-31 00:15:24 UTC 
With DialogDecscriptor.createDialog the end result 
is a dialog and you can set an accessible 
description of that. However, if you use the 
notify method, you do not have access to an object 
that has an accessible context.
Comment 1 Ana.von Klopp 2004-01-31 00:16:27 UTC 
The workaround is to use the createDialog mechanism

Comment 3 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-02-02 10:24:20 UTC 
This is not any defect, only an idea for enhancement. A notify message
can be easy accessible (see at attachment). Perhaps, DialogDisplayer
would do more support for A11Y but I don't see any suitable way. I
decrease the priority because there is a workaround.
Comment 4 Ana.von Klopp 2004-02-02 17:47:48 UTC 
This bug is not about the individual components in the dialog - I'm 
not requesting accessibility setters for those. I had already made 
them accessible. The a11y test complains that the dialog *itself* does 
not have an accessible description, not the components on it. 

When I use the create method, it returns a dialog and I can get to the 
accessible context of that dialog to set an accessible description:

===============================================
 Tested Window title : View Value
===============================================

 No Accessible description :
   Class:
org.netbeans.core.windows.services.NbPresenter { 
View Value |  }
Comment 5 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-02-03 14:30:40 UTC 
Thanks for explication, it's truth the DialogDisplayer.notify()
doesn't return a dialog which can be made accessible. This will ask
API change, accessible texts as parameters or overtaken context from
message's accessible context.

Sorry, not duplicate of 39142 -> reopened.
Comment 7 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-02-28 14:05:40 UTC 
The message passed into NotifyDescriptor c'tor can be an instance of javax.accessibility.Accessible and in such case the presenter window will use that accessible info.
