enum AtspiComponentLayer

The AtspiComponentLayer of an AtspiComponent instance indicates its relative stacking order with respect to the onscreen visual representation of the UI. AtspiComponentLayer, in combination with AtspiComponent bounds information, can be used to compute the visibility of all or part of a component. This is important in programmatic determination of region-of-interest for magnification, and in flat screen review models of the screen, as well as for other uses. Objects residing in two of the AtspiComponentLayer categories support further z-ordering information, with respect to their peers in the same layer: namely, ATSPI_LAYER_WINDOW and ATSPI_LAYER_MDI . Relative stacking order for other objects within the same layer is not available; the recommended heuristic is first child paints first. In other words, assume that the first siblings in the child list are subject to being overpainted by later siblings if their bounds intersect. The order of layers, from bottom to top, is: ATSPI_LAYER_BACKGROUND , ATSPI_LAYER_WINDOW , ATSPI_LAYER_MDI , ATSPI_LAYER_CANVAS , ATSPI_LAYER_WIDGET , ATSPI_LAYER_POPUP , and ATSPI_LAYER_OVERLAY .

Members

ATSPI_LAYER_INVALID

Indicates an error condition or uninitialized value.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_BACKGROUND

The bottom-most layer, over which everything else is painted. The 'desktop background' is generally in this layer.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_CANVAS

The 'background' layer for most content renderers and UI AtspiComponent containers.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_WIDGET

The layer in which the majority of ordinary 'foreground' widgets reside.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_MDI

A special layer between ATSPI_LAYER_CANVAS and ATSPI_LAYER_WIDGET , in which the 'pseudo windows' (e.g. the MDI frames) reside. See atspi_component_get_mdi_z_order.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_POPUP

A layer for popup window content, above ATSPI_LAYER_WIDGET .

 

ATSPI_LAYER_OVERLAY

The topmost layer.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_WINDOW

The layer in which a toplevel window background usually resides.

 

ATSPI_LAYER_LAST_DEFINED

Used only to determine the end of the enumeration.

 

ATSPI_COMPONENTLAYER_COUNT

#define ATSPI_COMPONENTLAYER_COUNT (8+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiComponentLayer.

enum AtspiTextBoundaryType

Specifies the boundary conditions determining a run of text as returned from atspi_text_get_text_at_offset, atspi_text_get_text_after_offset, and atspi_text_get_text_before_offset.

This enumerationis deprecated since 2.9.90 and should not be used. Use AtspiTextGranularity with atspi_text_get_string_at_offset instead.

Members

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CHAR

An AtspiText instance is bounded by this character only. Start and end offsets differ by one, by definition, for this value.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_START

Boundary condition is start of a word; i.e. range is from start of one word to the start of another word.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_END

Boundary condition is the end of a word; i.e. range is from the end of one word to the end of another. Some locales may not distinguish between words and characters or glyphs. In particular, those locales which use wholly or partially ideographic character sets. In these cases, characters may be returned in lieu of multi-character substrings.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_START

Boundary condition is start of a sentence, as determined by the application. Some locales or character sets may not include explicit sentence delimiters, so this boundary type can not always be honored. Some locales will return lines of text instead of grammatical sentences.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_END

Boundary condition is end of a sentence, as determined by the application, including the sentence-delimiting character, for instance '.' Some locales or character sets may not include explicit sentence delimiters, so this boundary type can not always be honored. Some locales will return lines of text instead of grammatical sentences.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START

Boundary condition is the start of a line; i.e. range is from start of one line to the start of another. This generally means that an end-of-line character will appear at the end of the range.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_END

Boundary condition is the end of a line; i.e. range is from start of one line to the start of another. This generally means that an end-of-line character will be the first character of the range.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_TYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_TEXT_BOUNDARY_TYPE_COUNT (6+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiTextBoundaryType.

enum AtspiTextClipType

Enumeration used by interface AtspiText to indicate how to treat characters intersecting bounding boxes.

Members

ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_NONE

No characters/glyphs are omitted.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_MIN

Characters/glyphs clipped by the minimum coordinate are omitted.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_MAX

Characters/glyphs which intersect the maximum coordinate are omitted.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_BOTH

Only glyphs falling entirely within the region bounded by min and max are retained.

 

ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_TYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_TEXT_CLIP_TYPE_COUNT (3+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiTextClipType.

enum AtspiStateType

Enumeration used by various interfaces indicating every possible state an AtspiAccesible object can assume.

Members

ATSPI_STATE_INVALID

Indicates an invalid state - probably an error condition.

 

ATSPI_STATE_ACTIVE

Indicates a window is currently the active window, or an object is the active subelement within a container or table. ATSPI_STATE_ACTIVE should not be used for objects which have

 

ATSPI_STATE_ARMED

Indicates that the object is armed.

 

ATSPI_STATE_BUSY

Indicates the current object is busy, i.e. onscreen representation is in the process of changing, or the object is temporarily unavailable for interaction due to activity already in progress.

 

ATSPI_STATE_CHECKED

Indicates this object is currently checked.

 

ATSPI_STATE_COLLAPSED

Indicates this object is collapsed.

 

ATSPI_STATE_DEFUNCT

Indicates that this object no longer has a valid backing widget (for instance, if its peer object has been destroyed).

 

ATSPI_STATE_EDITABLE

Indicates the user can change the contents of this object.

 

ATSPI_STATE_ENABLED

Indicates that this object is enabled, i.e. that it currently reflects some application state. Objects that are "greyed out" may lack this state, and may lack the ATSPI_STATE_SENSITIVE if direct user interaction cannot cause them to acquire ATSPI_STATE_ENABLED . See ATSPI_STATE_SENSITIVE .

 

ATSPI_STATE_EXPANDABLE

Indicates this object allows progressive disclosure of its children.

 

ATSPI_STATE_EXPANDED

Indicates this object is expanded.

 

ATSPI_STATE_FOCUSABLE

Indicates this object can accept keyboard focus, which means all events resulting from typing on the keyboard will normally be passed to it when it has focus.

 

ATSPI_STATE_FOCUSED

Indicates this object currently has the keyboard focus.

 

ATSPI_STATE_HAS_TOOLTIP

Indicates that the object has an associated tooltip.

 

ATSPI_STATE_HORIZONTAL

Indicates the orientation of this object is horizontal.

 

ATSPI_STATE_ICONIFIED

Indicates this object is minimized and is represented only by an icon.

 

ATSPI_STATE_MODAL

Indicates something must be done with this object before the user can interact with an object in a different window.

 

ATSPI_STATE_MULTI_LINE

Indicates this (text) object can contain multiple lines of text.

 

ATSPI_STATE_MULTISELECTABLE

Indicates this object allows more than one of its children to be selected at the same time, or in the case of text objects, that the object supports non-contiguous text selections.

 

ATSPI_STATE_OPAQUE

Indicates this object paints every pixel within its rectangular region. It also indicates an alpha value of unity, if it supports alpha blending.

 

ATSPI_STATE_PRESSED

Indicates this object is currently pressed.

 

ATSPI_STATE_RESIZABLE

Indicates the size of this object's size is not fixed.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SELECTABLE

Indicates this object is the child of an object that allows its children to be selected and that this child is one of those children that can be selected.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SELECTED

Indicates this object is the child of an object that allows its children to be selected and that this child is one of those children that has been selected.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SENSITIVE

Indicates this object is sensitive, e.g. to user interaction. ATSPI_STATE_SENSITIVE usually accompanies. ATSPI_STATE_ENABLED for user-actionable controls, but may be found in the absence of ATSPI_STATE_ENABLED if the current visible state of the control is "disconnected" from the application state. In such cases, direct user interaction can often result in the object gaining ATSPI_STATE_SENSITIVE , for instance if a user makes an explicit selection using an object whose current state is ambiguous or undefined. See ATSPI_STATE_ENABLED , ATSPI_STATE_INDETERMINATE .

 

ATSPI_STATE_SHOWING

Indicates this object, the object's parent, the object's parent's parent, and so on, are all 'shown' to the end-user, i.e. subject to "exposure" if blocking or obscuring objects do not interpose between this object and the top of the window stack.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SINGLE_LINE

Indicates this (text) object can contain only a single line of text.

 

ATSPI_STATE_STALE

Indicates that the information returned for this object may no longer be synchronized with the application state. This can occur if the object has ATSPI_STATE_TRANSIENT , and can also occur towards the end of the object peer's lifecycle.

 

ATSPI_STATE_TRANSIENT

Indicates this object is transient.

 

ATSPI_STATE_VERTICAL

Indicates the orientation of this object is vertical; for example this state may appear on such objects as scrollbars, text objects (with vertical text flow), separators, etc.

 

ATSPI_STATE_VISIBLE

Indicates this object is visible, e.g. has been explicitly marked for exposure to the user. ATSPI_STATE_VISIBLE is no guarantee that the object is actually unobscured on the screen, only that it is 'potentially' visible, barring obstruction, being scrolled or clipped out of the field of view, or having an ancestor container that has not yet made visible. A widget is potentially onscreen if it has both ATSPI_STATE_VISIBLE and ATSPI_STATE_SHOWING . The absence of ATSPI_STATE_VISIBLE and ATSPI_STATE_SHOWING is semantically equivalent to saying that an object is 'hidden'.

 

ATSPI_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS

Indicates that "active-descendant-changed" event is sent when children become 'active' (i.e. are selected or navigated to onscreen). Used to prevent need to enumerate all children in very large containers, like tables. The presence of ATSPI_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS is an indication to the client that the children should not, and need not, be enumerated by the client. Objects implementing this state are expected to provide relevant state notifications to listening clients, for instance notifications of visibility changes and activation of their contained child objects, without the client having previously requested references to those children.

 

ATSPI_STATE_INDETERMINATE

Indicates that a check box or other boolean indicator is in a state other than checked or not checked. This usually means that the boolean value reflected or controlled by the object does not apply consistently to the entire current context. For example, a checkbox for the "Bold" attribute of text may have ATSPI_STATE_INDETERMINATE if the currently selected text contains a mixture of weight attributes. In many cases interacting with a ATSPI_STATE_INDETERMINATE object will cause the context's corresponding boolean attribute to be homogenized, whereupon the object will lose ATSPI_STATE_INDETERMINATE and a corresponding state-changed event will be fired.

 

ATSPI_STATE_REQUIRED

Indicates that user interaction with this object is 'required' from the user, for instance before completing the processing of a form.

 

ATSPI_STATE_TRUNCATED

Indicates that an object's onscreen content is truncated, e.g. a text value in a spreadsheet cell.

 

ATSPI_STATE_ANIMATED

Indicates this object's visual representation is dynamic, not static. This state may be applied to an object during an animated 'effect' and be removed from the object once its visual representation becomes static. Some applications, notably content viewers, may not be able to detect all kinds of animated content. Therefore the absence of this state should not be taken as definitive evidence that the object's visual representation is static; this state is advisory.

 

ATSPI_STATE_INVALID_ENTRY

This object has indicated an error condition due to failure of input validation. For instance, a form control may acquire this state in response to invalid or malformed user input.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SUPPORTS_AUTOCOMPLETION

This state indicates that the object in question implements some form of typeahead or pre-selection behavior whereby entering the first character of one or more sub-elements causes those elements to scroll into view or become selected. Subsequent character input may narrow the selection further as long as one or more sub-elements match the string. This state is normally only useful and encountered on objects that implement AtspiSelection. In some cases the typeahead behavior may result in full or partial completion of the data in the input field, in which case these input events may trigger text-changed events from the source.

 

ATSPI_STATE_SELECTABLE_TEXT

This state indicates that the object in question supports text selection. It should only be exposed on objects which implement the AtspiText interface, in order to distinguish this state from ATSPI_STATE_SELECTABLE , which infers that the object in question is a selectable child of an object which implements AtspiSelection. While similar, text selection and subelement selection are distinct operations.

 

ATSPI_STATE_IS_DEFAULT

This state indicates that the object in question is the 'default' interaction object in a dialog, i.e. the one that gets activated if the user presses "Enter" when the dialog is initially posted.

 

ATSPI_STATE_VISITED

This state indicates that the object (typically a hyperlink) has already been activated or invoked, with the result that some backing data has been downloaded or rendered.

 

ATSPI_STATE_CHECKABLE

Indicates this object has the potential to be checked, such as a checkbox or toggle-able table cell. Since : 2.12

 

ATSPI_STATE_HAS_POPUP

Indicates that the object has a popup context menu or sub-level menu which may or may not be showing. This means that activation renders conditional content. Note that ordinary tooltips are not considered popups in this context. Since : 2.12

 

ATSPI_STATE_READ_ONLY

Indicates that an object which is ENABLED and SENSITIVE has a value which can be read, but not modified, by the user. Since : 2.16

 

ATSPI_STATE_LAST_DEFINED

This value of the enumeration should not be used as a parameter, it indicates the number of items in the AtspiStateType enumeration.

 

ATSPI_STATETYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_STATETYPE_COUNT (41+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiStateType.

enum AtspiKeyEventType

Deprecated. Should not be used.

Members

ATSPI_KEY_PRESSED

   

ATSPI_KEY_RELEASED

   

ATSPI_KEYEVENTTYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_KEYEVENTTYPE_COUNT (1+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiKeyEventType.

enum AtspiEventType

Enumeration used to specify the event types of interest to an AtspiEventListener, or to identify the type of an event for which notification has been sent.

Members

ATSPI_KEY_PRESSED_EVENT

Indicates that a key on a keyboard device was pressed.

 

ATSPI_KEY_RELEASED_EVENT

Indicates that a key on a keyboard device was released.

 

ATSPI_BUTTON_PRESSED_EVENT

Indicates that a button on a non-keyboard human interface device (HID) was pressed.

 

ATSPI_BUTTON_RELEASED_EVENT

Indicates that a button on a non-keyboard human interface device (HID) was released.

 

ATSPI_EVENTTYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_EVENTTYPE_COUNT (3+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiEventType.

enum AtspiKeySynthType

Enumeration used when synthesizing keyboard input via atspi_generate_keyboard_event.

Members

ATSPI_KEY_PRESS

Emulates the pressing of a hardware keyboard key.

 

ATSPI_KEY_RELEASE

Emulates the release of a hardware keyboard key.

 

ATSPI_KEY_PRESSRELEASE

Emulates the pressing and immediate releasing of a hardware keyboard key.

 

ATSPI_KEY_SYM

A symbolic key event is generated, without specifying a hardware key. Note: if the keysym is not present in the current keyboard map, the AtspiDeviceEventController instance has a limited ability to generate such keysyms on-the-fly. Reliability of GenerateKeyboardEvent calls using out-of-keymap keysyms will vary from system to system, and on the number of different out-of-keymap keysyms being generated in quick succession. In practice this is rarely significant, since the keysyms of interest to AT clients and keyboard emulators are usually part of the current keymap, i.e., present on the system keyboard for the current locale (even if a physical hardware keyboard is not connected).

 

ATSPI_KEY_STRING

A string is converted to its equivalent keyboard events and emitted. If the string consists of complex characters or composed characters which are not in the current keymap, string emission is subject to the out-of-keymap limitations described for ATSPI_KEY_SYM . In practice this limitation primarily effects Chinese and Japanese locales.

 

ATSPI_KEYSYNTHTYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_KEYSYNTHTYPE_COUNT (4+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiKeySynthType.

enum AtspiModifierType

Members

ATSPI_MODIFIER_SHIFT

The left or right 'Shift' key.

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_SHIFTLOCK

The ShiftLock or CapsLock key.

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_CONTROL

'Control'/'Ctrl'.

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_ALT

The Alt key (as opposed to AltGr).

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_META

Depending on the platform, this may map to 'Window', 'Function', 'Meta', 'Menu', or 'NumLock'. Such 'Meta keys' will map to one of META, META2, META3. On X Windows platforms these META values map to the modifier masks Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, e.g. an event having ATSPI_MODIFIER_META2 means that the 'Mod2Mask' bit is set in the corresponding XEvent.

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_META2

See ATSPI_MODIFIER_META .

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_META3

See ATSPI_MODIFIER_META .

 

ATSPI_MODIFIER_NUMLOCK

A symbolic meta key name that is mapped by AT-SPI to the appropriate META value, for the convenience of the client.

 

ATSPI_MODIFIERTYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_MODIFIERTYPE_COUNT (7+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiModifierType.

enum AtspiRelationType

AtspiRelationType specifies a relationship between objects (possibly one-to-many or many-to-one) outside of the normal parent/child hierarchical relationship. It allows better semantic identification of how objects are associated with one another. For instance the ATSPI_RELATION_LABELLED_BY relationship may be used to identify labelling information that should accompany the accessible name property when presenting an object's content or identity to the end user. Similarly, ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR can be used to further specify the context in which a valuator is useful, and/or the other UI components which are directly effected by user interactions with the valuator. Common examples include association of scrollbars with the viewport or panel which they control.

Enumeration used to specify the type of relation encapsulated in an AtspiRelation object.

Members

ATSPI_RELATION_NULL

Not a meaningful relationship; clients should not normally encounter this AtspiRelationType value.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_LABEL_FOR

Object is a label for one or more other objects.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_LABELLED_BY

Object is labelled by one or more other objects.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR

Object is an interactive object which modifies the state, onscreen location, or other attributes of one or more target objects.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY

Object state, position, etc. is modified/controlled by user interaction with one or more other objects. For instance a viewport or scroll pane may be ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY scrollbars.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_MEMBER_OF

Object has a grouping relationship (e.g. 'same group as') to one or more other objects.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_TOOLTIP_FOR

Object is a tooltip associated with another object.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_NODE_CHILD_OF

Object is a child of the target.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_NODE_PARENT_OF

Object is a parent of the target.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_EXTENDED

Used to indicate that a relationship exists, but its type is not specified in the enumeration.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_FLOWS_TO

Object renders content which flows logically to another object. For instance, text in a paragraph may flow to another object which is not the 'next sibling' in the accessibility hierarchy.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_FLOWS_FROM

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_FLOWS_TO .

 

ATSPI_RELATION_SUBWINDOW_OF

Object is visually and semantically considered a subwindow of another object, even though it is not the object's child. Useful when dealing with embedded applications and other cases where the widget hierarchy does not map cleanly to the onscreen presentation.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_EMBEDS

Similar to ATSPI_RELATION_SUBWINDOW_OF , but specifically used for cross-process embedding.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_EMBEDDED_BY

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_EMBEDS . Used to denote content rendered by embedded renderers that live in a separate process space from the embedding context.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_POPUP_FOR

Denotes that the object is a transient window or frame associated with another onscreen object. Similar to ATSPI_TOOLTIP_FOR , but more general. Useful for windows which are technically toplevels but which, for one or more reasons, do not explicitly cause their associated window to lose 'window focus'. Creation of an ATSPI_ROLE_WINDOW object with the ATSPI_RELATION_POPUP_FOR relation usually requires some presentation action on the part of assistive technology clients, even though the previous toplevel ATSPI_ROLE_FRAME object may still be the active window.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_PARENT_WINDOW_OF

This is the reciprocal relation to ATSPI_RELATION_POPUP_FOR .

 

ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIPTION_FOR

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIBED_BY. Indicates that this object provides descriptive information about the target object(s). See also ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS_FOR and ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_FOR.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIBED_BY

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIPTION_FOR. Indicates that one or more target objects provide descriptive information about this object. This relation type is most appropriate for information that is not essential as its presentation may be user-configurable and/or limited to an on-demand mechanism such as an assistive technology command. For brief, essential information such as can be found in a widget's on-screen label, use ATSPI_RELATION_LABELLED_BY. For an on-screen error message, use ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_MESSAGE. For lengthy extended descriptive information contained in an on-screen object, consider using ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS as assistive technologies may provide a means for the user to navigate to objects containing detailed descriptions so that their content can be more closely reviewed.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS_FOR. Indicates that this object has a detailed or extended description, the contents of which can be found in the target object(s). This relation type is most appropriate for information that is sufficiently lengthy as to make navigation to the container of that information desirable. For less verbose information suitable for announcement only, see ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIBED_BY. If the detailed information describes an error condition, ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_FOR should be used instead. Since : 2.26.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS_FOR

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_DETAILS. Indicates that this object provides a detailed or extended description about the target object(s). See also ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIPTION_FOR and ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_FOR. Since : 2.26.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_MESSAGE

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_FOR. Indicates that this object has one or more errors, the nature of which is described in the contents of the target object(s). Objects that have this relation type should also contain ATSPI_STATE_INVALID_ENTRY in their AtspiStateSet. Since : 2.26.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_FOR

Reciprocal of ATSPI_RELATION_ERROR_MESSAGE. Indicates that this object contains an error message describing an invalid condition in the target object(s). Since : 2.26.

 

ATSPI_RELATION_LAST_DEFINED

Do not use as a parameter value, used to determine the size of the enumeration.

 

ATSPI_RELATIONTYPE_COUNT

#define ATSPI_RELATIONTYPE_COUNT (23+1)

One higher than the highest valid value of AtspiRelationType.

ATSPI_ROLE_FORM should not, in general, be used for toplevel GUI containers or dialogs, but should be reserved for 'GUI' containers which occur within document content, for instance within Web documents, presentations, or text documents. Unlike other GUI containers and dialogs which occur inside application instances, ATSPI_ROLE_FORM containers' components are associated with the current document, rather than the current foreground application or viewer instance.

 

ATSPI_ROLE_LINK

The object is a hypertext anchor, i.e. a "link" in a hypertext document. Such objects are distinct from 'inline' content which may also use the AtspiHypertext/AtspiHyperlink interfacesto indicate the range/location within a text object where an inline or embedded object lies.
