| Mark,
| Thanks for the reply. The framework version is v1.1.4322. Yes, there
| are controls inside the group box. Under the older MFC app, as you tab
| to each control within a group box, Jaws will voice the group box text
| before the control text. For example, if a group box named "Records
| Display" has three items named "Font Size", "Background Color" and
| "Text Color", the voice will say "Records Display Font Color" < hit
| tab> "Records Display Background Color", etc. This isn't happening
| for our .Net app. It only voices the text of the control. Everything
| else seems to work with the default accessibility role settings. Any
| insight on how this is suppose to work or advice on how this should be
| configured would be greatly appreciated.
| Thanks again.

Bruce - try setting the FlatStyle property for the GroupBox to
FlatStyle.System. Let me know if that solves your problem.
Thanks,
