Is there a date picker suitable for JAWS for ASP.NET?

Does anyone know of an ASP.NET date picker control that works well with JAWS ? If you have any recommendations for simplifying the use of an existing date picker in ASP.NET for JAWS users?

I doubt that you will be able to access the ASP.NET control. If I were you, I would look at the client version of the control. I found this affordable Javascript based date picker calendar on the Internet. You may have to adjust a bit to make it work in your application.

Good luck

DateTimePicker is pretty affordable. Although the calendar appears when the user clicks on the drop-down menu, the month / day / year is still fully accessible without using the “you-select” functions from the drop-down list. You will notice that if you click on a tab in the DateTimePicker drop-down list, you will first focus on this month, and on the next tab, day and next year. Our blind user can use the up arrow keys to change the value of each of them, and the left arrow keys to switch between month / day / year, to set the date and never deal with the selection function.

One of the problems I discovered is that there is no role for DateTimePicker (at least in MS VS 2008). The work I came across is to add instructions to the DateTimePicker AccessibilityName / Description.

Hope this helps!
