Dialog and Panel accessibility issues

Open jasonmac19 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

The dialog and panel components seem to suffer from the issues highlighted in the link below, specifically under the 'Dialogs and overlays' section. Is there any thought as to making these components accessible? Perhaps they could be PCFs?

The company I work for has a legal requirement to conform to WACG 2.1 so we would be unable to make use of these components.

If dialogs are necessary for your design, you can create custom pages for dialogs and panels in a model driven app with custom pages: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/navigate-to-custom-page-examples

We are evaluating whether we can implement panel and dialog in code components based on resourcing. We will keep this item open until we have more clarity around resources for this.

@jasonmac19 This has been fixed in the latest release.

Apologies, this was not fixed in the latest release - please look into the model driven app capabilities suggested to address accessibility.

Since we don't have a good answer in the current capabilities for Power Apps, the recommendation to meet accessibility requirements is to put any information that should be in a dialog or panel on a new screen.
