Hi Dan,

The described behavior for the RadDropDownList is still not fixed. The RadDropDownList structure is different from the RadTextBox. The control itself exposes two modes. One for using only the dropdown part to select an item and one for enabling the textbox input area. That is why we have logged a separate feedback item for this. You can track its progress using the following link:

I've tested this with the 2026.1.415 release and I still get an issue with RadDropDownList, it announces its control name instead of AccessibleName.  The other controls work better.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for reporting this behavior. As a workaround, we can set the AccessibleName of the hosted MS TextBox control inside the RadTextBox:

this.radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.AccessibleName = "YourCustomName";
