Subject: Re: new RedHat user with a question You mentioned java, could you reply to me privately with tips on how to use the java accessability api and the javax.accessability package. For example I'm working on a program which uses radio buttons, editable text fields, and a non-editable text field. I wand to use standard windows navigations with this gui. Tab to move between buttons and enter to select that sort of thing and have the name of the edit field spoken. I know that non-accessable java would use the jradiobutton, jframe, jbutton and jtextfield, so what would be the accessable equivelent. send your reply to smcmahon at usgs.gov Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom and Esther Ward" <tward1978@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Jes and guide dog Harley" <jesman598 at triad.rr.com>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 6:37 AM Subject: Re: new RedHat user with a question > One of the major advantages of Fedora is having the Gnome 2.4 desktop > and gnopernicus.
