can someone give a concrete example of a AccessibleRole of a DataGrid and
what it can do for me?

Lars,

Here is some information from MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit:
Developing Windows-Based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic
..NET, and Microsoft Visual C# .NET
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...93408?v=glance

The AccessibleRole property contains an enum value that determines how
an accessibility aid treats your control. This property is normally
set to (Default), which indicates that each control is acting in its
usual manner. It is important to set this property, however, when a
control is acting in a manner more consistent with another type of
control, or for custom controls. For example, if you have a custom
control that displays data in a chart form, you would set the
AccessibleRole property value to Chart. The accessibility aids would
then treat the control as a chart.

Hope that helps!
