221 @class wxAccessible
7c913512 222
f59be7c6
FM
223 The wxAccessible class allows wxWidgets applications, and wxWidgets itself,
224 to return extended information about user interface elements to client
225 applications such as screen readers. This is the main way in which wxWidgets
226 implements accessibility features.
7c913512 227
f59be7c6 228 At present, only Microsoft Active Accessibility is supported by this class.
7c913512 229
23324ae1 230 To use this class, derive from wxAccessible, implement appropriate
f59be7c6
FM
231 functions, and associate an object of the class with a window using
232 wxWindow::SetAccessible.
7c913512 233
23324ae1
FM
234 All functions return an indication of success, failure, or not implemented
235 using values of the wxAccStatus enum type.
7c913512 236
f59be7c6
FM
237 If you return @c wxACC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED from any function, the system will try
238 to implement the appropriate functionality. However this will not work with
23324ae1 239 all functions.
7c913512 240
f59be7c6 241 Most functions work with an object @e id, which can be zero to refer to
23324ae1
FM
242 'this' UI element, or greater than zero to refer to the nth child element.
243 This allows you to specify elements that don't have a corresponding wxWindow or
244 wxAccessible; for example, the sash of a splitter window.
7c913512 245
23324ae1
FM
246 For details on the semantics of functions and types, please refer to the
247 Microsoft Active Accessibility 1.2 documentation.
7c913512 248
23324ae1
FM
249 This class is compiled into wxWidgets only if the wxUSE_ACCESSIBILITY setup
250 symbol is set to 1.
