Accessibility Support
- 2 minutes to read
Many DevExpress WPF controls comply with WCAG 2.2 (Level AA), Section 508, and EN 301 549 standards. To learn more about how WPF controls satisfy these requirements, refer to the DevExpress Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).
Limitations
The following table lists known Bars limitations according to the WCAG 2.x standard:
WCAG 2.x Criterion | Exception Description |
|---|---|
2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A) | Users cannot navigate through bar items that are not in the main menu from keyboard. |
2.5.3 Label in Name (Level A 2.1 only) | Toolbar list in the bar customization window do not provide assistive technologies with accessible information. |
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A) | The focused item does not provide assistive technologies with accessible information about its name. |
Note
Accessibility features of your application depend on implementation (your use of Bars API). Your application may not require or enable user actions listed above. The limitation list may also be incomplete. Test all required user functionality to ensure accessibility compliance.
