Hi Adam, the blog post was mislabeled and the feature should be in 2.3.5. I apologize for the incorrect info being placed there and the post should now be updated to reflect the correct version. As for the issue being present in 2.3.5, locally I found that there is some sort of issue with LabeledBy not parsing correctly on my end (although removing it appears to let the app run and the Narrator works), so I'm going to get some attention on this. I tried again in 2.3.5 -pre1 and -pre2
This XAML
<Entry Accessibility.Hint="Hint"
Accessibility.IsInAccessibleTree="True"
Accessibility.LabeledBy="Me"
Accessibility.Name="Name"
Text="Hello" />
Produces this error
Position 8:6. Missing a public static GetHint or a public instance property getter for the attached property "Xamarin.Forms.Accessibility.HintProperty"
I can not get any Accessibility options in XAML to work at all.
I'm seeing the same error locally when attempting to add the Accessibility.Hint, Accessibility.IsInAccessibleTree and Accessibility.Name attributes in XAML: "error : Missing a public static GetHint or a public instance property getter for the attached property "Xamarin.Forms.Accessibility.HintProperty"" Should be fixed on 2.3.5-pre3 LabeledBy should be set using `{x:Reference}` markup extension
Verified this issue on the build info below Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.6.01586 Installed Version: Enterprise Xamarin 4.6.0.279 (de55d19) Xamarin.Android 7.4.0.13 (f6289cd) Xamarin.iOS 10.12.0.12 (494fcbc) Forms.Version 2.3.5.255-pre5 Issue is Fixed now. |
Hopefully I am not missing something obvious here, but if I try to use any of the following in XAML <Entry Accessibility.Hint="Hint" Accessibility.IsInAccessibleTree="True" Accessibility.LabeledBy="Me" Accessibility.Name="Name" Text="Hello" /> I get the following error. Type Accessibility not found in xmlns http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms If I bind it in the code, it works fine, and the narrator (in UWP) is picking these up fine. entry.SetValue(Accessibility.HintProperty, "howdy"); entry.SetValue(Accessibility.IsInAccessibleTreeProperty, true); In 2.3.5, I get a different error in XAML of no static property GetHint. Either way, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, I can't get any accessibility to work when setting it in XAML.
