Hi

I have added a datepicker in Windows Forms Application.

I need system to read out the date that is selected Or Focused when Screen Reader or Narrator is turned ON.

Example:
42941-image.png

When The start date is Highlighted then it should read out complete date as 27th November 2019 but Now it is only reading out Label Description - Start Date.
Can Any one Help me?

    It Seems Like when I have changed the Accessibility role from Default to Clock It is Reading out the Date.

    Screen Reader will or Narrator will read string from ateTimePicker1.AccessibilityObject.Name property so you have to change it on select date as below.

    private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    dateTimePicker1.AccessibleName = lblStartDate.Text + " " + dateTimePicker1.AccessibilityObject.Name;
    }
