Check Your Knowledge

§1194.21(f) of Section 508 states that text must be properly exposed if it is to be correctly interpreted by an assistive device. Read the question below and select the response that is most accurate. You will receive immediate feedback.

Which of these solutions will help ensure that your text is presented so that it conforms to this part of the provision?

  1. Manual use of calls within the Windows operating system to output text.
  2. Override the operating system's standard functions for displaying text.
  3. *Use of custom text controls without related information being passed to the operating system.
  4. None of the above.

You selected "C. Use of custom text controls without related information being passed to the operating system."

This is incorrect. The correct response is "A. Manual use of calls within the Windows operating system to output text." Other possible solutions include limiting use to standard text controls and RichEdit, and using controls that are known to only draw text using built-in Windows operating system calls.
