ATK_STATE_ACTIVE should not be used for objects which have ATK_STATE_FOCUSABLE or ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE: Those objects should use ATK_STATE_FOCUSED and ATK_STATE_SELECTED respectively. ATK_STATE_ACTIVE is a means to indicate that an object which is not focusable and not selectable is the currently-active item within its parent container. 31 *@ATK_STATE_ARMED: Indicates that the object is 'armed', i.e. will be activated by if a pointer button-release event occurs within its bounds. Buttons often enter this state when a pointer click occurs within their bounds, as a precursor to activation. ATK_STATE_ARMED has been deprecated since ATK-2.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. 32 *@ATK_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. This state may be used by implementors of Document to indicate that content loading is underway. It also may indicate other 'pending' conditions; clients may wish to interrogate this object when the ATK_STATE_BUSY flag is removed. 33 *@ATK_STATE_CHECKED: Indicates this object is currently checked, for instance a checkbox is 'non-empty'. 34 *@ATK_STATE_DEFUNCT: Indicates that this object no longer has a valid backing widget (for instance, if its peer object has been destroyed) 35 *@ATK_STATE_EDITABLE: Indicates that this object can contain text, and that the 36 * user can change the textual contents of this object by editing those contents 37 * directly. For an object which is expected to be editable due to its type, but 38 * which cannot be edited due to the application or platform preventing the user 39 * from doing so, that object's #AtkStateSet should lack ATK_STATE_EDITABLE and 40 * should contain ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY. 41 *@ATK_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 STATE_SENSITIVE if direct user interaction cannot cause them to acquire STATE_ENABLED. See also: ATK_STATE_SENSITIVE 42 *@ATK_STATE_EXPANDABLE: Indicates this object allows progressive disclosure of its children 43 *@ATK_STATE_EXPANDED: Indicates this object its expanded - see ATK_STATE_EXPANDABLE above 44 *@ATK_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 45 *@ATK_STATE_FOCUSED: Indicates this object currently has the keyboard focus 46 *@ATK_STATE_HORIZONTAL: Indicates the orientation of this object is horizontal; used, for instance, by objects of ATK_ROLE_SCROLL_BAR. For objects where vertical/horizontal orientation is especially meaningful. 47 *@ATK_STATE_ICONIFIED: Indicates this object is minimized and is represented only by an icon 48 *@ATK_STATE_MODAL: Indicates something must be done with this object before the user can interact with an object in a different window 49 *@ATK_STATE_MULTI_LINE: Indicates this (text) object can contain multiple lines of text 50 *@ATK_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. 51 *@ATK_STATE_OPAQUE: Indicates this object paints every pixel within its rectangular region. 52 *@ATK_STATE_PRESSED: Indicates this object is currently pressed. 53 *@ATK_STATE_RESIZABLE: Indicates the size of this object is not fixed 54 *@ATK_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 55 *@ATK_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 56 *@ATK_STATE_SENSITIVE: Indicates this object is sensitive, e.g. to user interaction. 57 * STATE_SENSITIVE usually accompanies STATE_ENABLED for user-actionable controls, 58 * but may be found in the absence of STATE_ENABLED if the current visible state of the 59 * control is "disconnected" from the application state. In such cases, direct user interaction 60 * can often result in the object gaining STATE_SENSITIVE, for instance if a user makes 61 * an explicit selection using an object whose current state is ambiguous or undefined. 62 * @see STATE_ENABLED, STATE_INDETERMINATE. 63 *@ATK_STATE_SHOWING: Indicates this object, the object's parent, the object's parent's parent, and so on, 64 * are all 'shown' to the end-user, i.e. subject to "exposure" if blocking or obscuring objects do not interpose 65 * between this object and the top of the window stack. 66 *@ATK_STATE_SINGLE_LINE: Indicates this (text) object can contain only a single line of text 67 *@ATK_STATE_STALE: Indicates that the information returned for this object may no longer be 68 * synchronized with the application state. This is implied if the object has STATE_TRANSIENT, 69 * and can also occur towards the end of the object peer's lifecycle. It can also be used to indicate that 70 * the index associated with this object has changed since the user accessed the object (in lieu of 71 * "index-in-parent-changed" events). 72 *@ATK_STATE_TRANSIENT: Indicates this object is transient, i.e. a snapshot which may not emit events when its 73 * state changes. Data from objects with ATK_STATE_TRANSIENT should not be cached, since there may be no 74 * notification given when the cached data becomes obsolete. 75 *@ATK_STATE_VERTICAL: Indicates the orientation of this object is vertical 76 *@ATK_STATE_VISIBLE: Indicates this object is visible, e.g. has been explicitly marked for exposure to the user. 77 * @note: STATE_VISIBLE is no guarantee that the object is actually unobscured on the screen, only 78 * that it is 'potentially' visible, barring obstruction, being scrolled or clipped out of the 79 * field of view, or having an ancestor container that has not yet made visible. 80 * A widget is potentially onscreen if it has both STATE_VISIBLE and STATE_SHOWING. 81 * The absence of STATE_VISIBLE and STATE_SHOWING is semantically equivalent to saying 82 * that an object is 'hidden'. See also STATE_TRUNCATED, which applies if a VISIBLE and SHOWING object 83 * lies within a viewport which means that its contents are clipped, e.g. a truncated spreadsheet cell or 84 * an image within a scrolling viewport. Mostly useful for screen-review and magnification algorithms. 85 *@ATK_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS: Indicates that "active-descendant-changed" event 86 * is sent when children become 'active' (i.e. are selected or navigated to onscreen). 87 * Used to prevent need to enumerate all children in very large containers, like tables. 88 * The presence of STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS is an indication to the client. 89 * that the children should not, and need not, be enumerated by the client. 90 * Objects implementing this state are expected to provide relevant state 91 * notifications to listening clients, for instance notifications of visibility 92 * changes and activation of their contained child objects, without the client 93 * having previously requested references to those children. 94 *@ATK_STATE_INDETERMINATE: Indicates that the value, or some other quantifiable 95 * property, of this AtkObject cannot be fully determined. In the case of a large 96 * data set in which the total number of items in that set is unknown (e.g. 1 of 97 * 999+), implementors should expose the currently-known set size (999) along 98 * with this state. In the case of a check box, this state should be used to 99 * indicate that the check box is a tri-state check box which is currently 100 * neither checked nor unchecked. 101 *@ATK_STATE_TRUNCATED: Indicates that an object is truncated, e.g. a text value in a speradsheet cell. 102 *@ATK_STATE_REQUIRED: Indicates that explicit user interaction with an object is required by the user interface, e.g. a required field in a "web-form" interface. 103 *@ATK_STATE_INVALID_ENTRY: Indicates that the object has encountered 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. 104 *@ATK_STATE_SUPPORTS_AUTOCOMPLETION: Indicates that the object in question implements some form of ¨typeahead¨ or 105 * pre-selection behavior whereby entering the first character of one or more sub-elements 106 * causes those elements to scroll into view or become selected. Subsequent character input 107 * may narrow the selection further as long as one or more sub-elements match the string. 108 * This state is normally only useful and encountered on objects that implement Selection. 109 * In some cases the typeahead behavior may result in full or partial ¨completion¨ of 110 * the data in the input field, in which case these input events may trigger text-changed 111 * events from the AtkText interface. This state supplants @ATK_ROLE_AUTOCOMPLETE. 112 *@ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE_TEXT:Indicates that the object in question supports text selection. It should only be exposed on objects which implement the Text interface, in order to distinguish this state from @ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE, which infers that the object in question is a selectable child of an object which implements Selection. While similar, text selection and subelement selection are distinct operations. 113 *@ATK_STATE_DEFAULT: Indicates that the object is the "default" active component, i.e. the object which is activated by an end-user press of the "Enter" or "Return" key. Typically a "close" or "submit" button. 114 *@ATK_STATE_ANIMATED: Indicates that the object changes its appearance dynamically as an inherent part of its presentation. This state may come and go if an object is only temporarily animated on the way to a 'final' onscreen presentation. 115 * @note some applications, notably content viewers, may not be able to detect 116 * all kinds of animated content. Therefore the absence of this state should not 117 * be taken as definitive evidence that the object's visual representation is 118 * static; this state is advisory. 119 *@ATK_STATE_VISITED: Indicates that the object (typically a hyperlink) has already been 'activated', and/or its backing data has already been downloaded, rendered, or otherwise "visited". 120 *@ATK_STATE_CHECKABLE: Indicates this object has the potential to be 121 * checked, such as a checkbox or toggle-able table cell. @Since: 122 * ATK-2.12 123 *@ATK_STATE_HAS_POPUP: Indicates that the object has a popup context 124 * menu or sub-level menu which may or may not be showing. This means 125 * that activation renders conditional content. Note that ordinary 126 * tooltips are not considered popups in this context. @Since: ATK-2.12 127 *@ATK_STATE_HAS_TOOLTIP: Indicates this object has a tooltip. @Since: ATK-2.16 128 *@ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY: Indicates that a widget which is ENABLED and SENSITIVE 129 * has a value which can be read, but not modified, by the user. Note that this 130 * state should only be applied to widget types whose value is normally directly 131 * user modifiable, such as check boxes, radio buttons, spin buttons, text input 132 * fields, and combo boxes, as a means to convey that the expected interaction 133 * with that widget is not possible. When the expected interaction with a 134 * widget does not include modification by the user, as is the case with 135 * labels and containers, ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY should not be applied. See also 136 * ATK_STATE_EDITABLE. @Since: ATK-2-16 137 *@ATK_STATE_LAST_DEFINED: Not a valid state, used for finding end of enumeration 138 * 139 *The possible types of states of an object 140 **/ 141 typedef enum 142 { 143 ATK_STATE_INVALID, 144 ATK_STATE_ACTIVE, 145 ATK_STATE_ARMED, 146 ATK_STATE_BUSY, 147 ATK_STATE_CHECKED, 148 ATK_STATE_DEFUNCT, 149 ATK_STATE_EDITABLE, 150 ATK_STATE_ENABLED, 151 ATK_STATE_EXPANDABLE, 152 ATK_STATE_EXPANDED, 153 ATK_STATE_FOCUSABLE, 154 ATK_STATE_FOCUSED, 155 ATK_STATE_HORIZONTAL, 156 ATK_STATE_ICONIFIED, 157 ATK_STATE_MODAL, 158 ATK_STATE_MULTI_LINE, 159 ATK_STATE_MULTISELECTABLE, 160 ATK_STATE_OPAQUE, 161 ATK_STATE_PRESSED, 162 ATK_STATE_RESIZABLE, 163 ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE, 164 ATK_STATE_SELECTED, 165 ATK_STATE_SENSITIVE, 166 ATK_STATE_SHOWING, 167 ATK_STATE_SINGLE_LINE, 168 ATK_STATE_STALE, 169 ATK_STATE_TRANSIENT, 170 ATK_STATE_VERTICAL, 171 ATK_STATE_VISIBLE, 172 ATK_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS, 173 ATK_STATE_INDETERMINATE, 174 ATK_STATE_TRUNCATED, 175 ATK_STATE_REQUIRED, 176 ATK_STATE_INVALID_ENTRY, 177 ATK_STATE_SUPPORTS_AUTOCOMPLETION, 178 ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE_TEXT, 179 ATK_STATE_DEFAULT, 180 ATK_STATE_ANIMATED, 181 ATK_STATE_VISITED, 182 ATK_STATE_CHECKABLE, 183 ATK_STATE_HAS_POPUP, 184 ATK_STATE_HAS_TOOLTIP, 185 ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY, 186 ATK_STATE_LAST_DEFINED 187 } AtkStateType; 188 189 typedef guint64 AtkState; 190 191 AtkStateType atk_state_type_register (const gchar *name); 192 193 const gchar* atk_state_type_get_name (AtkStateType type); 194 AtkStateType atk_state_type_for_name (const gchar *name); 195 196 G_END_DECLS 197 198 #endif /* __ATK_STATE_H__ */
