Misty TC10 feature to set name field for controls

Post by *MVV »

Hi, can someone describe the sense of these additions/fixes in TC10? As I understand, it is related to dialog box controls, but I don't understand what is the "name" field, Windows controls has no such property.

As the last entry tells you, this is for accessibility reasons, e.g. for users with viewing disabilities. Screen readers will use these fields.

You can view these name fields with the tool inspect or inspect32:
