Datepicker accessibility Issues.

Question

Hi

I have added a datepicker in Windows Forms Application.

I need system to read out the date that is selected Or Focused when Screen Reader or Narrator is turned ON.

Example:

When The start date is Highlighted then it should read out complete date as 27th November 2019 but Now it is only reading out Label Description - Start Date.
Can Any one Help me?

Answer 1

It Seems Like when I have changed the Accessibility role from Default to Clock It is Reading out the Date.

Answer 2

Screen Reader will or Narrator will read string from ateTimePicker1.AccessibilityObject.Name property so you have to change it on select date as below.

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dateTimePicker1.AccessibleName = lblStartDate.Text + " " + dateTimePicker1.AccessibilityObject.Name;
}
