[RESOLVED] AccessibleRole

[FoodBard]

is there a point to setting tthis? I often wonder why controls don't have better default settings for this.
I've seen no doco saying this is important.

Can anyone explain?

Microsoft Windows support accessibility (http://www.microsoft.com/enable/), which helps various scenarios, like it can help to read the text for blind people etc.

In order to make your application properly Accessible you should set the AccessibleRole of each control to it's respective possibility, that way Accessibility can handle it better.
