Accessibility: problematic screen reader UX for ContextMenuStrip (NVDA) #3334
Description
- .NET Core Version: 3.1
- Have you experienced this same bug with .NET Framework?: No
Problem description:
When using the standard ContextMenu removed in #2157, NVDA announces "Context Menu" when the menu opens. With ContextMenuStrip, NVDA doesn't announce anything on pop-up (not even the presence of a menu without an accessible name), meaning that a user has no idea that a menu has been invoked.
Expected behavior:
NVDA will announce "Context Menu" on pop-up.
Minimal repro:
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Test {
public class MainWindow : Form {
public MainWindow() {
this.ClientSize = new Size(800, 450);
this.Text = "Context Menu Accessibility";
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.SuspendLayout();
this.InitializeControls();
this.ResumeLayout(false);
this.PerformLayout();
}
private void InitializeControls() {
Button aButton = new Button{
Text="Button with a ContextMenuStrip"
};
ContextMenuStrip ctxMenu = new ContextMenuStrip();
ctxMenu.Items.Add("Item &1");
ctxMenu.Items.Add("Item &2");
ctxMenu.Items.Add("Item &3");
aButton.ContextMenuStrip = ctxMenu;
this.Controls.Add(aButton);
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}
}
