Hello folks, I have an issue with a custom control where I do not yet know how to make that accessible beside using an aria-live-message. The component is currently implemented as a TabBar with expandable buttons. However, using arrow-keys does not work and is not supposed to work for keyboard users because as a sighted person you can use the arrow-keys to go through the TabBar and see what elements are in the bar (there are quite a lot and it should also work on small screens). When moving the arrow-keys the bar scrolls but the first element still keeps the focus. When selecting an item contents below the component is updated. Therefore my idea is to use an aria-live-message to announce to screen reader users that, when expanding a button, the contents below has been updated. In case anyone has a better idea I would be delighted to read about it :-) Solong Ginger
