Variable Documentation

const long IA2_STATE_ACTIVE = 0x1

const long IA2_STATE_ARMED = 0x2

const long IA2_STATE_DEFUNCT = 0x4

const long IA2_STATE_EDITABLE = 0x8

const long IA2_STATE_HORIZONTAL = 0x10

const long IA2_STATE_ICONIFIED = 0x20

const long IA2_STATE_INVALID_ENTRY = 0x40

const long IA2_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS = 0x80

Used when children are transient. In this case it is not necessary to add listeners to the children.

The state is added to improve performance in the case of large containers such as tables. When an object manages its children it is not necessary to iterate over all the children and add listeners. The parent object will provide state notifications regarding the state of its children.

const long IA2_STATE_MODAL = 0x100

Modal objects have the behavior that something must be done with the object before the user can interact with an object in a different window.

const long IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE = 0x200

const long IA2_STATE_OPAQUE = 0x400

const long IA2_STATE_REQUIRED = 0x800

An example of when this state is used is when a field in a form must be filled before a form can be processed.

const long IA2_STATE_SELECTABLE_TEXT = 0x1000

Note: This is different than MSAA STATE_SYSTEM_SELECTABLE.

const long IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE = 0x2000

const long IA2_STATE_STALE = 0x4000

This state is used when the accessible object no longer accurately represents the state of the object which it is representing such as when an object is transient or when an object has been or is in the process of being destroyed.

const long IA2_STATE_SUPPORTS_AUTOCOMPLETION = 0x8000

This state indicates that that a text control will respond to the input of one ore more characters and cause a sub-item to become selected. The selection may also result in events fired on the parent object.

const long IA2_STATE_TRANSIENT = 0x10000

const long IA2_STATE_VERTICAL = 0x20000
