508 Compliance

[Jason]

Hi,

We are using RadGridView, RadPanelBar, RadDataFilter, RadBusyIndicator in our application.  We need to be 508 compliant and we were under the impression that Telerik controls were compatible.  When I use Jaws e-reader, navigation panel is not read by the e-reader.  DataFilter's dropdowns are not read, either.  If a user selects a column or filteroperator, they have no idea what they chose.
GridView's headers are skipped when tabbing through and goes into the data rows.  Add new item bar is also skipped.

Is there a property or maybe a setting we need to apply to get RadControls reader ready?

Thanks,

[Hristo]

Hi Artel,

Our RadControls for WPF support the Windows Automation API and we tried to keep this support as close as possible to the standard controls. For more details about our current support, please check this link.

We are aware of some of the issues you’ve pointed out but we are still investigating the possible resolutions. If you have any other feedback that you can share with us on the desired functionality or missing features it would be highly appreciated!


Best wishes,

Greetings,

Is there a simple way to change font sizes across the board for all control in a rad window or page? Samples would be extremely welcome :-)

Best regards,

Hello,

 You can create Styles targeting the Controls in the page. Then bind the FontSize property (in the setter of the style) to your FontSize property.

Thanks for your reply. Any examples on how this would get done grammatically?

Best regards,

Hello,

For example if you have a TextBox with the FontSize, then you can bind to the text of the TextBlock:

<TextBlock Name="sizeTextBlock" Text="20"/>
<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{Binding Text, ElementName=sizeTextBlock}"  />
</Style>
