Screen Reader Support

The ProgressBar component supports screen readers and complies to WAI-ARIA standards.

To improve accessibility, use the elementAttr property to specify aria-label for the component.

Not all screen readers pronounce the progress status. To make sure the status is pronounced, add the following aria-* attributes:

App.js
  • import React from 'react';
  • import { ProgressBar } from 'devextreme-react/progress-bar';
  •  
  • function App() {
  • const elementAttr = {
  • 'aria-live': 'polite',
  • 'aria-describedby': 'status',
  • };
  •  
  • const onContentReady = ({ element }) => {
  • element.querySelector('.dx-progressbar-status').setAttribute('id', 'status');
  • };
  •  
  • return (
  • <div>
  • <ProgressBar
  • elementAttr={elementAttr}
  • onContentReady={onContentReady}
  • />
  • </div>
  • );
  • };
  •  
  • export default App;
