Hi Krishna, Shashi,
I wonder how native progress bars behave. Is their value read by
assistive technologies? Are they focusable? Are they focusable if no
assistive technology enabled?
JLabel is not focusable. It does not accept user input directly. Are
JLabels also skipped by assistive technologies?
If setLabelFor(Component) is called, the label is associated with a
component. Is label read when the associated component is focused?
Regards,
Alexey

Hi Krishna, Thanks for your review.
That was really a good observation and as you rightly said, some visual cue
needs to be there around the progress bar, else it does look lost.
Thanks and regards,
Shashi

regarding the status of the progress bar
Hi Shashi,
The fix looks good to me. Regarding the decision of placing the line
“setFocusable(true)” in the constructor of ProgressBar, I think that is a good
decision since the Swing users needn’t explicitly make that call to make it
accessible.
There is one problem though:
The focus is not shown on the progress bar, and at that point, it feels like
the focus is lost and may lead to some confusion.
I think it would be good if we can render a focus rect around the progress bar
to let users know that it is in focus, which ofcourse can be addressed
separately.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi All, Please review a swingset fix for the below bug.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7124285
Fix: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sveerabhadra/7124285/webrev.00/
Problem: The JProgressBar component used in the swingset demo was not focusable
and once it is turned on, now the progress status is getting narrated via the
voice over.
Thanks and regards,
Shashi
