Description

There have been multiple issues opened against how Narrator handles the display in Calculator. The best approach would be to implement a value pattern on the display rather than using the automation name.

This deliverable should resolve the following behaviors:

  • Double reading "Display is..." when the display has focus
  • Announcing the "Display is" prefix every time a key is pressed
  • Not announcing display value when a key press does not result in a new display value

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Calculator display control and its current UI Automation implementation. Learn about the Value pattern (IRangeValueProvider or IValueProvider) and how to implement it in the existing codebase to fix Narrator double reading and unnecessary announcements.
