readonly attribute Accessibility::Accessible | parent |
readonly attribute long | childCount |
defined in Accessibility_Application.idl The base interface which is implemented by all accessible objects. All objects support interfaces for querying their contained 'children' and position in the accessible-object hierarchy, whether or not they actually have children.
"object:property-change"
A base (strongly-typed) object attribute has changed, for instance "object:property-change:accessible-name". Notifed property subtypes include accessible-name, accessible-description, accessible-parent and accessible-role."object:children-changed"
The number or identity of an object's children has changed. "object:state-changed"
The object's StateSet has had a state added or removed. "object:active-descendant-changed"
If the object includes STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS, this event is fired to indicate that the descendant having STATE_ACTIVE has changed; this corresponds to "micro" keyboard focus when the containing/emitting object has "macro" or technical keyboard focus. For instance, this event is usually emitted while traversing tables and/or spreadsheet cells. "object:attribute-change"
A weakly-typed property, as contained in the AttributeSet returned by Accessible::getAttributes, has changed in value, been added, or been removed from the object. ("object:attribute-change" notifications were added in AT-SPI 1.7.0) Application Accessibility::Accessible::getApplication | ( | ) |
Get the containing Application for this object.
AttributeSet Accessibility::Accessible::getAttributes | ( | ) |
Get a list of properties applied to this object as a whole, as an AttributeSet consisting of name-value pairs. As such these attributes may be considered weakly-typed properties or annotations, as distinct from the strongly-typed interface instance data declared using the IDL "attribute" keyword.
Not all objects have explicit "name-value pair" AttributeSet properties.
Attribute names and values may have any UTF-8 string value, however where possible, in order to facilitate consistent use and exposure of "attribute" properties by applications and AT clients, attribute names and values should chosen from a publicly-specified namespace where appropriate.
Where possible, the names and values in the name-value pairs should be chosen from well-established attribute namespaces using standard semantics. For example, attributes of Accessible objects corresponding to XHTML content elements should correspond to attribute names and values specified in the w3c XHTML specification, at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2, where such values are not already exposed via a more strongly-typed aspect of the AT-SPI API. Metadata names and values should be chosen from the 'Dublin Core' Metadata namespace using Dublin Core semantics: http://dublincore.org/dcregistry/ Similarly, relevant structural metadata should be exposed using attribute names and values chosen from the CSS2 and WICD specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512 WICD (http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-WICD-20051121/).
Accessible Accessibility::Accessible::getChildAtIndex | ( | in long | index | ) |
Get the accessible child of this object at index
.
index,: | an in parameter indicating which child is requested (zero-indexed). |
long Accessibility::Accessible::getIndexInParent | ( | ) |
Get the index of this object in its parent's child list.
string Accessibility::Accessible::getLocalizedRoleName | ( | ) |
Get a string indicating the type of UI role played by this object, translated to the current locale.
RelationSet Accessibility::Accessible::getRelationSet | ( | ) |
Get a set defining this object's relationship to other accessible objects.
Role Accessibility::Accessible::getRole | ( | ) |
string Accessibility::Accessible::getRoleName | ( | ) |
Get a string indicating the type of UI role played by this object.
StateSet Accessibility::Accessible::getState | ( | ) |
Get the current state of the object as a StateSet.
boolean Accessibility::Accessible::isEqual | ( | in Accessible | obj | ) |
Determine whether an Accessible refers to the same object as another. This method should be used rather than brute-force comparison of object references (i.e. "by-value" comparison), as two object references may have different apparent values yet refer to the same object.
obj,: | an Accessible object reference to compare to |
boolean
indicating whether the two object references point to the same object. void Accessibility::Accessible::unimplemented | ( | ) |
/cond future expansion
readonly attribute long Accessibility::Accessible::childCount |
childCount: the number of children contained by this object.
attribute string Accessibility::Accessible::description |
a string
describing the object in more detail than name.
attribute string Accessibility::Accessible::name |
a (short) string
representing the object's name.
readonly attribute Accessibility::Accessible Accessibility::Accessible::parent |
an Accessible object which is this object's containing object.
