  Hey,

  We are currently undertaking accessibility work, and I have encountered an issue with the Wijmo listbox. When running the Axe dev tools against it, it picks up an accessibility violation: Interactive controls must not be nested.
  
  The issue can be seen in this example https://jsfiddle.net/Wijmo5/j4te9fwp/3/.

  Is there any possibility this can be fixed? This implementation also suffers from the same issue raised here, with the list box being rendered outside of any landmark roles: https://developer.mescius.com/forums/wijmo/inputdatetime-rendering-outside-of-main-body
  
  

  Let me know if there is a way to resolve this currently or if you require any more information.

  Hi Sonu,

  Thanks for the reply.

  Please note this issue is also present on the filter dropdown as part of the datagrid.

  I assume they are both using the same underlying listbox control

I have requested the Dev team to investigate both issues and provide a response as soon as possible. I will keep you updated and provide further information as soon as I receive any updates.
