We are working towards making our application Section 508 compliance and this is requirement from one of our state client. We are using JAWS for reading the text/labels and it it uses Accessible Name Property to spell out the text. I don't see any Accessible Name property in UltraMessageBox control. Is there a way to to enable this property since this one is present in all other controls.
Thanks,
Hello somay,
The UltraMessageBox is not a control but a component and therefore it does not have this property. Please take a look at the following article:

Okay. How do i make UltraMessageBox 508 compliant?. I understand that it doesn't have accessible name property and windows message box also doesn't have this property but when we tested windows message box through JAWS, it worked fine. There must be something needs to be done inUltraMessageBox so Jaws can read message.
Hi,
At that moment we have not such functionality in UltraMessageBoxManager component. If you want to have MessageBox with similar Look and Feel like our UltraMessageBoxManager, then you could try to create your own custom control (please note that we are using control instead of component, by this way we could use accessibility properties) with desired Look and feel.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards
We are making our application Section 508 compliance. I have one grid having one column that column has valuelist in it. I don't see any Accessible Name property in ValueList control. Is there a way to to enable this property since this one is present in all other controls.
How can I access the column name for 508
Hello sonali,
How would you like to use the 'UltraDropDown' control for this? It has the mentioned property and could be assigned as a ValueList to the column. Could you please try this suggestion?
Let me try with 'UltraDropDown' . Thnaks
