…bo boxes without value pattern. Re nvaccess#5231. Looping selectors are used to select an item from values that wraps around, especially employed in time pickers 9SEttings, Alarms and Clock and others). Becasue they do not expose values, treat them as combo box without value pattern objects. This then allows NVDA to ask UIA to fetch the selected value by querying the selected element.

Hi, I asked mick for a review because he is the one who have investigated combo boxes without value pattern before and knows what might be happening. Also, if he doesn't mind, a second look from @jcsteh is appreciated. Thanks. |

Hi,
Finally resolving it after three years:
Link to issue number:
Fixes #5231
Summary of the issue:
Looping selectors do not expose value pattern, causing NVDA to not announce currently selected item. This is prominent in Alarms and Clock app and other apps where time picker is involved.
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
Looping selectors without value pattern is coerced into NVDAObjects.UIA.ComboBoxWithouValuePattern.
Testing performed:
Tested with Alarms and Clock, Settings and other apps employing time pickers on various Windows 10 releases (builds 17134, 17763, 18305)
Known issues with pull request:
None
Change log entry:
Bug fixes: I advise copying the what's new entry for ComboBoxWithoutValuePattern fix (#6337), adopting the wording to say that the fix now applies to certain time pickers in Windows 10 apps.
Thanks.
