Status bar text is not read by Screen reader.

Dear Colleagues,
In my Java application(Java Swings), I use a status bar to show the status of application for user. In String XML file, I use the status message type as 'XMSG'. This perticular text is not read by the SCREEN READER. This is tested during the 'Accessibility Testing'. Could some one tell me the reason for the text being not read by Screen reader? Any special settings needed in xml file or any other place, which enables the text to be read by the screen reader?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Anup,
Thank you for your responce.
Yes, I am able to access the XML in browser properly, without any error/warnings.

I have v. 3.6.8. It will display blank white pages at some site and not at others. I use safe mode and the access is reversed... what used to open doesn't and what didn't does. . .
Is anyone trying to fix this problem - or are users just left to chasing their tails on this issue?
Just curious ... in order to help me decide to wait for help or move on to something else...
Until that time ... Earl J.

Feature Request: Microsoft Excel 2013 - Don't hide status bar text on focus lost (AVERAGE, COUNT, SUM)

Could you please disable hiding of status bar text on focus lost.
I use this in Excel 2013, where I select a few cells, then move to another Excel to write the sum of those cells as read from the status bar or to check with other values in the second window. This really makes my life easier and I see no reason to hide
the status bar text when the window looses focus.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions.

IPhone (iOS 7) status bar text is white in video app

The status bar text in the native video app is white, this not visible.
I'm using an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.3, the data was backed up from my iPhone 4 which was running iOS 7

After a reset, the next steps in user troubleshooting is restore from backup, and then if necessary, restore as new. You can always make a backup of your device, and then try the restore as new. This deletes everything from the device, but will install the iOS. If it works then, go ahead and restore from your backup. If it breaks again, then it has something to do with the backup.

In Firefox 2.0+ you can go to Advanced JavaScript Settings and check a box to allow scripts to change status bar text. How do I do this is Firefox 10.0.1?

In Firefox 2.0+ you can go to Advanced JavaScript Settings and check a box to allow scripts to change status bar text. How do I do this is Firefox 10.0.1?

Two items in the Advanced JavaScript window were removed as of the Firefox 4.0 version, but they are still available thru about:config .
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''dom.disable_window_status_change''' = double-click to toggle to '''false''' to allow websites to mess with status text.

Why is location arrow on status bar every time i open lock screen even when nothing running

why is location arrow on status bar every time i open lock screen even when nothing running

Something is using location services...
Go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services. You can see what, if anything, is currently using location services, and what has used it within the last 24 hours.
An open location services arrow means there is a geo-fenced reminder set.

VBScript - Capture All Status Bar Text

I am tired of searching and finding no clear answers.
So here is the situation. I have a vbscript file that automates the SAP GUI. My issue is that I need to get the status text from the status bar after every input is made.
I have tried using findById("wnd[0]/sbar").text, but it does not capture every warning or error message.
Does the status bar object have any other properties besides text?
Any type of response would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks

Hi, the object to look for is type GuistatusBar
here is a VB sample
Function getStatus() As String
        If IsNothing(sess) Then
            Return "session is not connected"
        Else
            Return Me.sess.ActiveWindow.FindByName("sbar", "GuiStatusbar").text
        End If
End Function
the demo examlpe in my script automation tool sends a /$TAB okcode to a sapgui and the retrieves the text in the statusbar
The tool is in SF is called lbscript
Regards
Btw, there is also a dumpscreen method which creates a text file with all the screen or window elements so you can retrieve them later on.
Here is the line which contains the statusbar message and type
"/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]/sbar    Name: sbar    Type: GuiStatusbar    Value: TAB buffer reset    Read only    Children:7"

How do I view the Horizontal Scrolling bar and status bar at the bottom of the screen. I can only see the top menus, toolbars and vertical scroll bar?

Before the most recent upgrade, the bottom horizontal scrolling bar and status bar appeared on my screen. Now since upgrading, I cannot see the. Anyone ideas how to restore them?

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

Accessing status bar text in codedUI test

I need to get the text from status bar. I tried statusbar.text and statusbar.name, both didn't work.
So suggest any method to get the text from it?

Hi Chethan,
I assume that the status bar is a basic MFC StatusBar control. Please try dragging the crosshair on the status bar control or its panes to see whether the expected text is exposed as a value of a control property such as FriendlyName/HelpText property. If
Coded UI does not expose this text to a property, then we are not able to get the text directly.
One way to get the text directly from coded UI is to create a custom property for this text and implement coded UI support for custom properties. For detailed information, please see:
Enable Coded UI Testing of Your Controls
If the text is not exposed in Coded UI, I suggest you could submit this feature request:

Status bar prerequisite - will not pass v28 until returned

So, updated to 29 on both my Win7 & XP machines before I realized the problem:
Mozilla is heck bent on hiding stuff from me.
Read another (now closed) discussion of the loss of the status bar. I think this is the first time they pronounced the status bar dead. Tried the view-toolbars-addon and it's not there anymore.
So, went back to 28 and will stay there until the status bar is returned or it becomes so obsolete that I'll have to return to IE.
On my Win7Ult machine, it was easy - just the last restore point before I installed 29 and there it was. Doesn't wotk on XP, but luckily there's an FTP site that has copies of every version you can think of. I chose the last eng-us.28 and installed it over 29. I was surprised that the installation didn't notice and balk at it. also surprised it didn't crash and burn, but I'm writing this on that now and all seems OK.
So, you are asking "where's the question?"
It's this: the status bar is the darling of an overwhelming majority of Windows programs. I think this is like the third time they stole my status bar. Stealing the status bar is proof positive that Mozilla hates its users - by moving everything that used to be on the status bar to varied and sundry places, they have effectively chosen to hide things from their users and I find this inexcusably beyond the pale. For instance, they say it moved "add ons" to it's own 'addon' toolbar, which is NOT on by default. You see, they hid it. MY QUESTION IS - HOW TO GET MOZILLA TO STOP DOING THIS REPREHENSIBLE THING and return my browser to the way I like it. As I said in the subject "status bar is a requirement for my continued support". don't write back that I have to accept it or lump it. I'm on 'strike28' until the status bar is returned. If it is not, then I'll be going WHERE EVERY OTHER BROWSER VALUES THE STATUS BAR LIKE I DO". As a side note, several months ago Thunderbird did a really odd security update that destroyed my ability to send Email. I'm now a happy web mail user and nobody is trying to destroy my ability to use their product. If they had a mandate of 'intuitive changes', it would be different, but hiding things you are used to seeing in a place the WHOLE INDUSTRY is in agreement, this is the death knell to my interest, if not the product itself. If a large enough uproar cannot be generated, then it's probably not my kind of product anyway.CIAO.pcGnome

So, for those interested, I'm still using v28 and things are working well still. But in all this time, a couple of simple, yet salient points have arisen (arose?) in my head. 1) Mozilla keeps trying to get rid of the status bar and folks of my ilk get all agitated and it dawns on me - have they ever said WHY they want to get rid of the status bar? Do they not like me having a tall enough area at the bottom to click on to bring the window to the front? Do they object to me knowing the status of what's going on?.............The upshot of this and the failure to get FlashPlayer right is that I'm using a browser less and less these days. I use it for web mail, ebay & nzbclub and the occasional google search. But search engines don't seem to work at all well anymore, so I'm gonna quit that soon. Try a google search for a phrase and then open a result and I give it about a 68% chance the phrase isn't even on the page, not even if you go back and find the well hidden 'cache' option (pronounced "cash"!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,My second point is probably going to sound laughable, but think a bit and it IS quite serious. Namely, when is firefox going to be finished? I mean, more than a decade ago they finished Media Player Classic and you cannot believe how wonderful it is that something just works! The problem with this "forever development" (aside from doing idiot things like 'let us get rid of the status bar') is that things are seriously backsliding. Used to be a product would be in beta and then a few tweaks and then it was finished. Yes, there were later versions (I have NO interest in MPC home theater - ruins the good stuff and gives me nothing). It's like "since we'll never finish this project, we can slide all the way back to pre-beta (alpha?) and have everyone disturbed by what are they going to change next, just to keep some jobs. Ruin the experience and ruin the reputation and then I see no reason to come to your sandbox anymore. Someday I'll have to relate the arrogance of Forte` Agent that screwed them the pooch (it's not OUR problem, it's an issue in all microsoft operating systems!). Anyway, I see the question asked "when are they going to put back the status bar" and there is only this pseudo answer of "they won't because there's an add-on". How about "when will they stop defeating the add-on that defeats their attempt to get rid of the status bar. I mentioned that with the v29 debacle, sure enough there was a new add-on to take care of that. So, how many add-ons does it take to get them to JUST LET ME HAVE THE DAMM STATUS BAR, OK? pcG

Status bar at the bottom of the screen stops working. need to fix it.

When I upgrade Thunderbird there is a status bar at the bottom of the page that shows what account is being logged into and what the status is of the login process. (this is real time) What happens after a while is that the status no longer works and all I see is Unread: X and Total: X. I really would like the feature to work as it lets me know when I have connectivity issues. Either there is a bug in the software or some add on is messing thunderbird up. I have tried to disable all add ons and other features to no avail, so I think this is more of a bug. How to I fix the problem?

The add on Adblocker Plus is known to cause this problem. Are you sure you do not have this add on active? After disabling the add on restart Thunderbird and then check the status bar operation.

Hidden status bar while rotation not work

Hi, Here is what I am doing:
I have a view with status bar, nav bar and tool bar. User can tap the view to hidden all three bars. If tap again, all bars come back. All works fine.
I found that if user hidden all bars, rotate the view to landscape mode, and then tap to bring the bars back, the status bar is overlap with nav bar.
How can I fix it?
thanks,
fm

You might have to mess with the frame of the nav bar after the rotate. Try something like this (assuming a variable named navBar):
CGRect frame = navBar.frame;
frame.origin.x = 20;
navBar.frame = frame;

I downloaded the cocoPpa app for my iPhone and created shortcuts, it's now frozen on a white screen with the status bar it's not restarting but will do most normal functions that don't invoke leaving the page( except locking). Can anybody help?

Does anyone know what to do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Status bar text is not read by Screen reader.
