Provision D

Check Your Knowledge

Read the question below and select the response that is most accurate. You will receive immediate feedback.

What can you do to ensure that assistive devices can read the identity, operation, and state of user interface elements in your program?

  1. Properly expose all text.
  2. *Provide textual explanations and captions.
  3. Use punctuation to separate displayed text.
  4. Assign Window titles that are meaningful and descriptive.
  5. All of the above.

You selected “B. Provide textual explanations and captions."

That is incorrect. The correct response is "E. All of the above." In order to comply with Provision D, you need to address issues involving: text (must be properly exposed), owner-draw capabilities within standard controls (textual explanation must be provided), images (those that communicate information must have a textual description), captions (must be provided for all controls), punctuation (must take the place of spaces between words and lines), and window titles (must be meaningful and descriptive).
