Issue description
I have this simple Windows Forms app using DataGridView. Every time I press an arrow key to move to a different cell, using either NVDA or Narrator, after reading all of the correct information about the cell, the screen reader will say "edit", for seemingly no reason.
public class Form1 : Form {
private DataGridView gridView;
public Form1() {
Text = "Periodic Table";
ClientSize = new Size(1000, 600);
gridView = new DataGridView {
AllowUserToAddRows = false,
AllowUserToDeleteRows = false,
AllowUserToOrderColumns = false,
AllowUserToResizeColumns = false,
AllowUserToResizeRows = false,
ColumnCount = 18,
RowCount = 11,
Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
ReadOnly = true,
RowHeadersVisible = true,
ColumnHeadersVisible = true
};
Controls.Add(gridView);
}
[STAThread]
public static void Main() {
ApplicationConfiguration.Initialize();
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
Steps to reproduce
- Run the demo app from above with a screen reader active.
- Press the arrow keys to move around the grid.
