Re: [office-accessibility] Re: [office] Proposal for Radio Button grouping

[Pete Brunet <brunet@us.ibm.com>]

I created a Writer file in Symphony.
  I used the wizard to create it, e.g. I did a drag and drop on the
group box item in the form tool bar.  After that I turned off design
mode.  The ODF structure looks like this:

<office:body>
<office:text>
<office:forms>
<form:form>
 
<form:frame
form:name="GroupBox"
form:id="control1"
form:label="My
Colors"
form:for="control2,control3,control4"
/> 
<form:radio
form:name="RadioGroup1"
form:id="control2"
form:label="red"
form:value="1">
 
</form:radio>
<form:radio
form:name="RadioGroup1"
form:id="control3"
form:label="blue"
form:value="2">
 
</form:radio>
<form:radio
form:name="RadioGroup1"
form:id="control4"
form:label="green"
form:value="3">
 
</form:radio>
 
</form:form>
 
</office:forms>
<text:p>
<draw:g
text:anchor-type="as-char"
draw:name="group
object1"
>
 
<draw:control
draw:control="control1"
/> 
 
<draw:control
draw:control="control2"
/> 
 
<draw:control
draw:control="control3"
/> 
 
<draw:control
draw:control="control4"
/> 
 
</draw:g>
 
</text:p>
 
</office:text>
 
</office:body>

The a11y structure looks like this:

    DOCUMENT
    PARAGRAPH
    SHAPE
    GROUPING (name: My Colors),
RADIOBUTTON (name: red), RADIOBUTTON (name: blue), RADIOBUTTON (name: green)

Each radio button has a "memberOf"
realtion with the GROUPING object

The ODF control for this is <form:frame>.

The label would be  a <form:fixed-text> element. It has an (optional)
attribute "form:for" which contains the ID of a control for which
the 
text is a label.

The same attribute is actually existing for the <form:frame> element
which defines a group box. Her, it can be used to spacify that the group
  box is the label for a set of radio buttons.
