.NET MAUI CollectionView Screen Reader Support
The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI CollectionView provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The CollectionView allows users to use the Android (TalkBack), WinUI (Narrator), iOS and MacCatalyst (VoiceOver) screen readers for voice descriptions of the elements inside the CollectionView.
The Telerik MAUI CollectionView exposes an AutomationManager class which controls the automation behavior of the control. The AutomationManager class is responsible for managing the automation features of the CollectionView, such as enabling or disabling screen reader support.
WinUI Automation Behavior
The AutomationManager class exposes the EnableWindowsAutomation (bool) property, which determines whether the automation-related logic is enabled for WinUI. The default value is false, which means that the automation logic is disabled by default. To enable the automation logic, set the EnableWindowsAutomation property to true.
Here's how to enable WinUI automation support:
// Enable Windows automation
AutomationManager.EnableWindowsAutomation = true;
