Outlook 2010
The change in checked status of the check boxes on using SPACEBAR in the new rule wizard is not announced by NVDA. One has to use NVDA KEY+TAB to find out the checked status. Alternatively one has to navigate away from that particular item and come back to find out the checked status change.
Steps to reproduce:

1. In Outlook, go to home tab>rule>manage rules and alerts.
2. Select new rule button in the rules and alerts dialog box.
3. Follow the wizard to the step 2.
4. A list of options is available in the form of check boxes list.
5. Press SPACEBAR to select one of the options available.
6. NVDA does not announce the change in the checked status.
7. One has to use NVDA KEY+TAB to find out the change in the checked status every time to find out if the checked status has changed or not.

Thanks for the patch.

This change should be made so that the code only ever runs for that particular control, rather than in the base IAccessible NVDAObject. Otherwise, this check will run whenever space is pressed in any IAccessible object, which is a performance hit.

So, in the outlook app module, you'll need to create an NVDAObject overlay class for REListBox20W check boxes. See the Developer Guide for details on overlay classes.

Two more points:

• There's no need to call api.getFocusObject(), etc. The code is running because the object has focus, so you can just use self.
• You should fake a state change event, rather than calling speech directly. That way, it'll work for braille as well. self.event_stateChange() should do nicely.

The problem with using self.event_stateChange() is that it only announces "checked" and "not checked" and not the checkbox display text.
If you think this should be the correct behavior then I'm okay with it.
Let me know if it still needs any further modifications.

Perfect. Nice work.

Does the text of the control change when you toggle it? If not, speaking the state alone is fine; that's consistent with how we handle check boxes everywhere else.
