Detailed Description

Accessible interface.

Gtk::Accessible provides an interface for describing a UI element, like a Gtk::Widget, in a way that can be consumed by Assistive Technologies, or “AT”. Every accessible implementation has:

a “role”, represented by a value of the Gtk::Accessible::Role enumeration
an “attribute”, represented by a set of Gtk::Accessible::State, Gtk::Accessible::Property and Gtk::Accessible::Relation values

The role cannot be changed after instantiating a Gtk::Accessible 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 Gtk::Widget visibility changes, the Gtk::Accessible::State::HIDDEN state will also change to reflect Gtk::Widget::property_visible().

Since gtkmm 3.98:

This functionality can be overridden by Gtk::Accessible implementations, e.g. to get the bounds from an ignored child widget.

Since gtkmm 4.10:

Parameters

x	The x coordinate of the top left corner of the accessible.
y	The y coordinate of the top left corner of the widget.
width	The width of the accessible object.
height	The height of the accessible object.

Returns: True if the bounds are valid, and false otherwise.

◆ get_first_accessible_child() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr<Accessible> Gtk::Accessible::get_first_accessible_child ( )

Retrieves the first accessible child of an accessible object.

since: 4.10

Returns: The first accessible child.

◆ get_first_accessible_child() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr<const Accessible> Gtk::Accessible::get_first_accessible_child ( ) const

Retrieves the first accessible child of an accessible object.

since: 4.10

Returns: The first accessible child.

◆ get_next_accessible_sibling() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr<Accessible> Gtk::Accessible::get_next_accessible_sibling ( )

Retrieves the next accessible sibling of an accessible object.

since: 4.10

Returns: The next accessible sibling.

◆ get_next_accessible_sibling() [2/2]

◆ get_platform_state()

bool Gtk::Accessible::get_platform_state ( PlatformState state ) const

Query a platform state, such as focus.

See gtk_accessible_platform_changed().

This functionality can be overridden by Gtk::Accessible implementations, e.g. to get platform state from an ignored child widget, as is the case for Gtk::Text wrappers.

Since gtkmm 4.10:

Parameters

state Platform state to query.

Returns: The value of state for the accessible.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::Accessible::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

◆ property_accessible_role() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Role > Gtk::Accessible::property_accessible_role ( )

The accessible role of the given Gtk::Accessible implementation.

The accessible role cannot be changed once set.

Default value: Gtk::Accessible::Role::NONE

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_accessible_role() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Role > Gtk::Accessible::property_accessible_role ( ) const

The accessible role of the given Gtk::Accessible implementation.

The accessible role cannot be changed once set.

◆ reset_property()

void Gtk::Accessible::reset_property ( Property property )

Resets the accessible property to its default value.

Parameters

property A Gtk::Accessible::Property.

◆ reset_relation()

void Gtk::Accessible::reset_relation ( Relation relation )

Resets the accessible relation to its default value.

Parameters

relation A Gtk::Accessible::Relation.

◆ reset_state()

void Gtk::Accessible::reset_state ( State state )

Resets the accessible state to its default value.

Parameters

state A Gtk::Accessible::State.

◆ set_accessible_parent()

void Gtk::Accessible::set_accessible_parent	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Accessible > &	parent,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Accessible > &	next_sibling
	)

Sets the parent and sibling of an accessible object.

This function is meant to be used by accessible implementations that are not part of the widget hierarchy, and but act as a logical bridge between widgets. For instance, if a widget creates an object that holds metadata for each child, and you want that object to implement the Gtk::Accessible interface, you will use this function to ensure that the parent of each child widget is the metadata object, and the parent of each metadata object is the container widget.

Since gtkmm 4.10:

Parameters

parent	The parent accessible object.
next_sibling	The sibling accessible object.

◆ update_next_accessible_sibling()

void Gtk::Accessible::update_next_accessible_sibling ( const Glib::RefPtr< Accessible > & new_sibling )

Updates the next accessible sibling of self.

That might be useful when a new child of a custom Gtk::Accessible is created, and it needs to be linked to a previous child.

Since gtkmm 4.10:

Parameters

new_sibling The new next accessible sibling to set.

◆ update_property()

void Gtk::Accessible::update_property	(	Property	property,
		const Glib::ValueBase &	value
	)

Updates an accessible property.

This function should be called by Gtk::Widget types whenever an accessible property change must be communicated to assistive technologies.

Parameters

property	A Gtk::Accessible::Property.
value	A Glib::ValueBase.

◆ update_relation()

void Gtk::Accessible::update_relation	(	Relation	relation,
		const Glib::ValueBase &	value
	)

Updates an accessible relation.

This function should be called by Gtk::Widget types whenever an accessible relation change must be communicated to assistive technologies.

Parameters

relation	A Gtk::Accessible::Relation.
value	A Glib::ValueBase.

◆ update_state()

void Gtk::Accessible::update_state	(	State	state,
		const Glib::ValueBase &	value
	)

Updates an accessible state.

This function should be called by Gtk::Widget types whenever an accessible state change must be communicated to assistive technologies.

Parameters

state	A Gtk::Accessible::State.
value	A Glib::ValueBase.

◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::Accessible > wrap	(	GtkAccessible *	object,
		bool	take_copy = `false`
	)

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

object	The C instance.
take_copy	False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns: A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
