Description Alex Bernstein CLA 2004-09-01 09:45:18 EDT 
CCombo widget is comprised of two parts - Text and List widgets. It is 
impossible to add an accessibility listener to the text part of CCombo. The 
CCombo.getAccessible().addAccessibleListsner() method seems to operate on the 
List portion of the CCombo. This results in sporadic behavior when it comes to 
reading the screen controls accessible names (by screen reader). The 
availablity of accessible name for ccombo seems to be function of *where* the 
mouse is located when hovering over CCOmbo.
One additional note:
It would be much better if the Text portion was made StyledText instead, and be 
*available* to programmer directly via CCombo's API.
The List portion should be able to work with ContentProviders and 
LabelProviders, and be able to display icons, as well as text.
