The platform support for products such as Narrator is called Accessibility by Microsoft. This page gives the guidelines for that support for Windows Installer UI: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa367454.aspx
Basically, you need to have a "Text" type control that provides the caption for each of your "Edit" type controls be immediately right before the respective edit field in your authoring (position doesn't matter for the reader). Then Narrator will get the caption from that static text. ... <Control Type="Text" Text="Caption A" .../> <Control Type="Edit" Property="PROPERTYA" .../> ... <Control Type="Text" Text="Caption B" .../> <Control Type="Edit" Property="PROPERTYB" .../> ... -----Original Message----- From: Rendijs Smukulis [mailto:luuse...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 7:55 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] wix generated installer dialogs and Narrator Hello, wix-users! Been googling this for ages, to no avail. The basic problem is this: I have an installer form with a couple of editable text fields (type="Edit"). I need to add a caption to them which would be readable by Narrator, UI Spy and such. Adding a "ToolTip" or "Help" elements did not work. For some odd reason, when I have an element "<Control Id="BannerBitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370" Height="44" TabSkip="no" Text="WixUI_Bmp_Banner"/>" in the form, the names of the editable text fields become "WixUI_Bmp_Banner", and are read out by Narrator as such. The version of wix is 3.0.5419 I believe. Any ideas how to get this working? Thanks in advance, Rendijs S.
