Day of the week

  • Authors: Abdel, Noelia.

This add-on allows you to find a day of the week corresponding to a chosen date.

It adds a submenu in the NVDA Tools menu named "Day of the week", containing 2 items:

  • The first one named "Search a day", opens a dialog composed of 3 controls:

    • A listbox to choose or type your date;
    • An "OK" button to display a messageBox containing your day;
    • A "Cancel" button to close the dialog.
  • The second one named "dayOfTheWeek add-on settings" opens the parameters of the add-on to specify whether you want to report labels for date fields or not, it is composed of the following elements:

    • Enable accessibility of the date selector;
    • Level of the announces of labels, you will then have 3 choices:

      • Long (it's the default choice);
      • Short (for short announcements);
      • Off (to disable labels announcements).
    • Enable announcement of the current date field value only, when moving vertically;

    • An "OK" button to save your configuration;
    • A "Cancel" button to cancel and close the dialog.

Notes

  • You can close these dialogs just by pressing Escape;
  • You can assign a shortcut to open these dialogs in "Input gestures" menu and, more precisely, in the "Day of the week" category;
  • If you use NVDA 2018.2 or higher, you'll find only one item in the tool menu for searching your day, the add-on settings will be in the NVDA settings panel.
