RE: different scope of view in UI design on Canvas

IMO, most authors will use canvas to create a single UI control* (positioning it in html/css like any other input control) – this makes the click handling story much easier, as you are not attempting to do click handling for a complex layered windowed UI.

*There could, of course, be several of these controls on the page.

There are three methods for handling clicks: using a bitmap (trading cpu for ram), using an object with bounding box coordinates,
or using the browser's hit testing and layering the elements atop of the canvas.

Paniz, very few authors are using Canvas for elements, at this time.

Not sure I understand your question…
I sent an example to the canvas a11y discussion a while ago – basically, the author has to handle onclick events on the canvas element, and then set the state of the radio/checkbox so that the screen reader can read that. Likewise, when the screen reader changes the radio/checkbox state, the author show redraw the canvas element to indicate the new state.

Hello All,

I was thinking about a problem if you had a button a checkbox a radio button in Canvas ,

How would you handle click events of each one of them? I need to know different scope of view and your thought in programming.
