Redmine AdiIRC - Bug #5796 (New): the tabs in the options dialogue and server list are not keyboard or sc...https://dev.adiirc.com/issues/57962024-02-05T17:52:22ZSamuel Proulxsamuel@interfree.ca
<p>The tab controls in the server list and the options dialogue are not screen reader accessible. They cannot be changed with the keyboard, and are not screen reader labeled. The tree views work fine.</p> AdiIRC - Support #3794 (Closed): How is IPluginHost.GetVariables supposed to work?https://dev.adiirc.com/issues/37942018-01-28T13:34:21ZSamuel Proulxsamuel@interfree.ca
<p>I really am missing something here. I tried to assign it to an iDictionary of my own, but I got an error about a missing cast. I tried to use it directly, but it's missing a bunch of methods like TryGetValue. If I try and retrieve a value from it directly, I never get anything back. If I try to retrieve a value from a key that doesn't exist, it doesn't seem to throw an Exception like MSDN says IDictionaries are supposed to.</p>
<p>What am I missing? I'm pretty new to C# (just started using it in November) so I'm obviously missing something simple here, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what.</p> AdiIRC - Support #3789 (Closed): How to strip color from messages using C# and API V2?https://dev.adiirc.com/issues/37892018-01-25T19:03:41ZSamuel Proulxsamuel@interfree.ca
<p>I must be missing something. I know $strip exists for scripts. However, what/where/how is the method for those of us writing plugins in C# to strip formatting from an IRC message? I need to pass in a string, and get a returned string without color codes.</p> AdiIRC - Bug #3785 (Closed): Accessibility Issues In The Interface With Screen Readershttps://dev.adiirc.com/issues/37852018-01-19T20:18:59ZSamuel Proulxsamuel@interfree.ca
<p>I'm working on a C# plugin, and customized version of AdiIRC, to work with screen readers. Thanks to the powerful API, the plugin can handle reading of messages perfectly. Also, the AdiIRC interface is almost perfectly accessible, with the following issues:</p>
<p>1. Lists don't seem to work. The screen reader can't read any of the items in the nick list, the server list, or the list of categories under options. However, everything else on these screens reads perfectly.</p>
<p>2. None of the edit fields in the quick connect dialogue have been labeled for screen readers. This seems to be the only spot in AdiIRC where that isn't the case. I can work around that in my custom configuration by putting default text like "TypeYourNicknameHere" and "TypeYourUsernameHere" in the edit boxes, but it would be wonderful if this could be resolved.</p>
<p>3. There is some menu bar weirdness. The screen reader finds an item to the left of the file menu, that is not labeled with any text. And when it drops down, it doesn't close properly with the escape key. There also seem to be some other items on the menu bar that don't have any dropdown menu at all. I'm blind myself, so I'm afraid I can't give you many details here; sorry! But if these items could be fixed, or if we could have an option to hide everything but the standard "file, view, server, tools, commands, window, help", either way would be helpful.</p>
<p>Sorry for filing an issue this long! The AdiIRC interface is perfectly usable for blind folks even now. But if these things were fixed, the interface would achieve full accessibility.</p>
