Accessible name? [message #468576]

I'm tinkering with the Java Validation Componentry. I've created a
simple subclass of Composite with a standard two-argument constructor.
I've added a Text to the composite.

The validator is complaining that I'm "Missing accessible name" on both
the Composite and the Text. It's not clear to me how I go about setting
the accessible name. Any pointers?

Hi Wayne,

Sorry for this late reply. I had not noticed that my news reader doesn't
work well. I'll forward this to Mike Squillace who leads the validation
component.

Best regards,

Wayne:
Sorry for this delayed response but have been traveling quite a bit and on
vacation this week.

The accessibleNmae on the Composite is missing bc Composite's simply do
not have an accessible name associated with them by default. This is a bug
in the validation document for SWT. You can, however, corect the error by
getting the accessible for the Composite and overwriting the getName
method:
public MyComposite (Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
getAccessible().addAccessibleListener(new AccessibleListener() {
public void getName (AccessibleEvent event) { event.result =
"composite name"; }
:
} });

For the text field, the validation is correct as the only way to get a
name for a text field is to asssociate itwith a label. Add a Label to the
composite prior to adding the Text object and this should repair that
error.
