Interface

GtkAccessible

Description [src]

interface Gtk.Accessible : GObject.Object

GtkAccessible is an interface for describing UI elements for Assistive Technologies.

Every accessible implementation has:

a “role”, represented by a value of the GtkAccessibleRole enumeration
an “attribute”, represented by a set of GtkAccessibleState, GtkAccessibleProperty and GtkAccessibleRelation values

The role cannot be changed after instantiating a GtkAccessible implementation.

The attributes are updated every time a UI element’s state changes in a way that should be reflected by assistive technologies. For instance, if a GtkWidget visibility changes, the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_STATE_HIDDEN state will also change to reflect the GtkWidget:visible property.

Every accessible implementation is part of a tree of accessible objects. Normally, this tree corresponds to the widget tree, but can be customized by reimplementing the Gtk.AccessibleInterface.get_accessible_parent, Gtk.AccessibleInterface.get_first_accessible_child and Gtk.AccessibleInterface.get_next_accessible_sibling virtual functions. Note that you can not create a top-level accessible object as of now, which means that you must always have a parent accessible object. Also note that when an accessible object does not correspond to a widget, and it has children, whose implementation you don’t control, it is necessary to ensure the correct shape of the a11y tree by calling gtk_accessible_set_accessible_parent() and updating the sibling by gtk_accessible_update_next_accessible_sibling().

Prerequisite

In order to implement Accessible, your type must inherit fromGObject.
