boolean pause ()
boolean resume ()
string getLocale (in LOCALE_TYPE lctype)
void unImplemented_ ()

Data Fields

readonly attribute string version
attribute long id

Detailed Description

An interface identifying an object which is the root of the user interface Accessible hierarchy associated with a running application. Children of Application are typically, but not exclusively, top-level windows.
Note:
It is possible for an element deeper in an Accessibility stack to implement Application, for instance in the case of "embedded applications" which draw into toplevel windows associated with other applications from the user's point of view.


Member Function Documentation

string Accessibility::Application::getLocale in LOCALE_TYPE    lctype
 

Gets the locale in which the application is currently operating. For the current message locale, use lctype LOCALE_TYPE_MESSAGES.

Parameters:
lctype  The LocaleType for which the locale is queried.
Returns :
a string compliant with the POSIX standard for locale description.

boolean Accessibility::Application::pause  
 

Request that the application temporarily stop sending events. In most cases this should pause the application's main event loop.

@returns: true if the request succeeded, false otherwise.

@note: This method is not implemented in most toolkits, and therefore should be treated with caution.

void Accessibility::Application::registerObjectEventListener in EventListener    listener,
in string    eventName
 

registerObjectEventListener:

Parameters:
listener:  an EventListener object which will receive the requested events
eventName:  a UTF-8 string indicating the type of (toolkit-specific) event being requested. Register with this application toolkit for "Accessibility::Accessible" event notifications. @note: SUBJECT TO DEPRECATION.

void Accessibility::Application::registerToolkitEventListener in EventListener    listener,
in string    eventName
 

Parameters:
listener:  an EventListener object which will receive the requested events from the application's toolkits via toolit 'bridges'
eventName:  a UTF-8 string indicating the type of (toolkit-specific) event being requested. Not all applications can generate toolkit events of a given type.
Register with this application's toolkit for "toolkit-specific" event notifications.
Note:
For most event support, clients should use non-toolkit-specific events whenever possible, via Registry::registerGlobalEventListener - this method is provided as a 'back door' when generic names do not exist for the events in question.

boolean Accessibility::Application::resume  
 

Request that the application resume sending events.

@returns: True if the request succeeded, False otherwise.

void Accessibility::Application::unImplemented2_  
 

void Accessibility::Application::unImplemented3_  
 

void Accessibility::Application::unImplemented_  
 

\cond (This comment tells doxygen not to document these)


Field Documentation

attribute long Accessibility::Application::id
 

The application instance's unique ID as assigned by the registry.

readonly attribute string Accessibility::Application::toolkitName
 

A string indicating the type of user interface toolkit which is used by the application.

Note:
Ordinarily clients of Application should be toolkit-agnostic, dependencies on this property should be avoided where possible.

readonly attribute string Accessibility::Application::version
 

A string indicating the version number of the application's accessibility bridge implementation.
