@section _errors Error Handling
|
|
HRESULT values are defined by the Microsoft® Win32® API. For more information, refer to
|
|
<a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb401631.aspx">Interpreting HRESULT Values</a>
|
|
in MSDN®.
|
|
|
|
Note that the S_FALSE return value is considered a non-error value and the
|
|
SUCCEEDED macro will return TRUE. S_FALSE is used when there is no failure
|
|
but there was nothing valid to return, e.g. in IAccessible2::attributes when
|
|
there are no attributes. When S_FALSE is returned [out] pointer types should
|
|
be NULL and [out] longs should generally be 0, but sometimes -1 is used such
|
|
as IAccessible2::indexInParent, IAccessibleText::caretOffset, and
|
|
IAccessibleHypertext::hyperlinkIndex.
|
|
|
|
Note that for BSTR [out] variables common COM practice is that the server does
|
|
the SysAllocString and the client does the SysFreeString. Also note that when
|
|
NULL is returned there is no need for the client to call SysFreeString. Please
|
|
refer to the documentation for each method for more details regarding error handling.
|
|
|
|
@section _memory Memory Management
|
|
The following memory management issues should be considered:
|
|
@li Although [out] BSTR variables are declared by the client, their space is
|
|
allocated by the server. They need to be freed with SysFreeString by the
|
|
client at end of life; the same is true when BSTRs are used in structs or
|
|
arrays which are passed to the server.
|
|
@li If there is no valid [out] BSTR to return, the server should return S_FALSE and
|
|
assign NULL to the output, e.g. *theOutBSTR = NULL;.
|
|
@li COM interfaces need to be referenced with AddRef when used and dereferenced
|
|
with Release at end of life.
|
|
@li Single [out] longs, HWNDs, booleans, and structs are declared by the caller
|
|
and passed by reference. The marshaller does all the memory management.
|
|
|
|
The following articles may be helpful for understanding memory management issues:
|
|
@li An article by Don Box in a
|
|
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/msj/1196/activex1196.aspx">Q & A section</a>
|
|
of the November 1996 edition of the Microsoft Systems Journal.
|
|
@li A posting to a CodeGuru forum,
|
|
<a href="http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364511">Windows SDK
|
|
String: What are the rules for BSTR allocation and deallocation?</a>
|
|
|
|
@subsection _arrayConsideration Special Consideration when using Arrays
|
|
There are several methods which return arrays. It is considered a best practice
|
|
for the client to allocate and free the arrays. This can be done for
|
|
IAccessible2::relations and IAccessibleRelation::targets. However, due to the
|
|
coding of the IDL for the remaining methods which return arrays, the server must
|
|
allocate the array and the client must free the array when no longer needed.
|
|
These methods are IAccessible2::extendedStates, IAccessible2::localizedExtendedStates,
|
|
IAccessibleAction::keyBinding, IAccessibleTable::selectedChildren,
|
|
IAccessibleTable::selectedColumns, and IAccessibleTable::selectedRows. For those
|
|
methods, the server must allocate both the top level array and any storage
|
|
associated with it, e.g. for BSTRs. The client must use CoTaskMemFree to free
|
|
the array and any BSTRs must be freed with SysFreeString.
|
|
|
|
Also, the IDL for those methods includes an extraneous [in] parameter for the
|
|
caller to specify the max size of the array. This parameter will be ignored by
|
|
the COM server.
|
|
|
|
@section _indexes Zero and One Based Indexes
|
|
Unless otherwise specified all offsets and indexes are 0 based.
|
|
|
|
@section _enums Enums
|
|
Note that enums start at 0.
|
|
|
|
@section _specialOffsets Special Offsets for use in the IAccessibleText and IAccessibleEditableText Methods
|
|
IAccessibleText and IAccessibleEditableText can use one or more of the following
|
|
special offset values. They are defined in the ::IA2TextSpecialOffsets enum.
|
|
@li Using ::IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_LENGTH (-1) as an offset in any of the IAccessibleText or
|
|
IAccessibleEditableText methods is the same as specifying the length of the string.
|
|
@li Using ::IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET (-2) as an offset for IAccessibleText::textBeforeOffset,
|
|
IAccessibleText::textAtOffset, and IAccessibleText::textAfterOffset indicates that the
|
|
text related to the physical location of the caret should be used. This is needed for
|
|
applications that consider the character offset of the end of one line (as reached by
|
|
pressing the End key) the same as the offset of the first character on the next line.
|
|
Since the same offset is associated with two different lines a special means is needed
|
|
to fetch text from the line where the caret is physically located.
|
|
|
|
@section _dicoveringInterfaces Discovery of Interfaces
|
|
In general AT (Assistive Technology) should try IAccessible2 interfaces, followed by using
|
|
the MSAA (Microsoft® Active Accessibility®) interfaces. (In cases where the an application
|
|
is known to have custom interfaces which provide information not supplied by IAccessible2
|
|
or MSAA, then those custom interfaces can be used.) The AT can then, by default, support
|
|
unknown IAccessible2/MSAA applications, without the application developers having to request
|
|
AT vendors for support on an individual application by application basis.
|
|
|
|
When you have a reference to an IAccessible and require a reference to an IAccessible2 use
|
|
QueryService as follows:
|
|
@code
|
|
// pAcc is a reference to the accessible object's IAccessible interface.
|
|
IServiceProvider *pService = NULL;
|
|
hr = pAcc->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void **)&pService);
|
|
if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
|
|
IAccessible2 *pIA2 = NULL;
|
|
hr = pService->QueryService(IID_IAccessible, IID_IAccessible2, (void**)&pIA2);
|
|
if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pIA2) {
|
|
// The control supports IAccessible2.
|
|
// pIA2 is the reference to the accessible object's IAccessible2 interface.
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
@section _changingInterfaces Changing between Accessible Interfaces
|
|
Note that developers must always implement MSAA's IAccessible and, if needed, some
|
|
of the interfaces in the set of IAccessible2 interfaces. Although the IAccessible2
|
|
IDL is currently coded such that IAccessible2 is a subclass of MSAA's IAccessible,
|
|
none of MSAA's IAccessible methods are overridden or extended. In order to allow
|
|
future removal of the inheritance, Assistive Technologies (ATs) should not rely on
|
|
that inheritance.
|
|
|
|
QueryService must be used to switch from a reference to an MSAA IAccessible interface
|
|
to another interface. This has been
|
|
<a href="http://www.accessinteropalliance.org/docs/Introducing_IAccessibleEx.doc">
|
|
documented by Microsoft</a> and the pertinent facts have been extracted below:
|
|
|
|
@par
|
|
Why use QueryService instead of just using QueryInterface to get IAccessibleEx
|
|
directly? The reason is that since MSAA 2.0, clients don't talk to a server's
|
|
IAccessible interface directly; instead they talk to an intermediate MSAA-provided
|
|
wrapper that calls through to the original IAccessible. This wrapper provides services
|
|
such as implementing IDispatch, supplying information from MSAA 2.0's Dynamic Annotation
|
|
service, and scaling locations when running on Windows Vista with DPI scaling enabled.
|
|
QueryService is the supported way to expose additional interfaces from an existing
|
|
IAccessible and was originally used by MSHTML to expose IHTMLElement objects corresponding
|
|
to IAccessibles. QueryService is often more convenient for servers to implement than
|
|
QueryInterface because it does not have the same requirements for preserving object
|
|
identity or symmetry/transitivity as QueryInterface, so QueryService allows servers to
|
|
easily implement the interface on the same object or a separate object. The latter is
|
|
often hard to do with QueryInterface unless the original object supports aggregation.
|
|
|
|
Two related references in MSDN® are:
|
|
@li <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms696078(VS.85).aspx">
|
|
"Using QueryService to expose a native object model interface for an IAccessible object"</a>
|
|
@li <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms528415.aspx#acc_obj">
|
|
"Accessing the Internet Explorer Object Associated with an Accessible Object"</a>
|
|
|
|
Based on this information from Microsoft, QueryService must be used to switch back and forth
|
|
between a reference to an MSAA IAccessible interface and any of the IAccessible2 interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Regarding switching between any of the IAccessible2 interfaces, applications implementing
|
|
IAccessible2 should implement the IAccessible2 interfaces on a single object since ATs
|
|
will be using QueryInterface to switch between the IAccessilbe2 interfaces. Implementing
|
|
the IAccessible2 interfaces on separate objects would require the use of QueryService.
|
|
There is one exception, IAccessibleApplication can be implemented on a separate object so
|
|
its common code doesn't have to be included in each accessible object. ATs should use
|
|
QueryService to access IAccessibleApplication.
|
|
|
|
@section _applicationInfo Access to Information about the Application
|
|
Servers implementing IAccessible2 should provide access to the IAccessibleApplication
|
|
interface via QueryService from any object so that ATs can easily determine specific
|
|
information about the application such as its name or version.
|
|
|
|
@section _childIDs Child IDs
|
|
The IAccessible2 interfaces do not support child IDs, i.e. simple child elements.
|
|
Full accessible objects must be created for each object that supports IAccessible2.
|
|
Therefore MSAA's get_accChild should never return a child ID (other than CHILDID_SELF)
|
|
for an object that implements any of the IAccessible2 interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's UI Automation specification has the same limitation and this was resolved
|
|
in the UI Automation Express specification by adding IAccessibleEx::GetObjectForChild
|
|
and IAccessibleEx::GetIAccessiblePair. These methods allow mapping back and forth
|
|
between an IAccessibleEx and an {IAccessible, Child ID} pair. A future version of
|
|
IAccessible2 may include similar methods to map back and forth between an IAccessible2
|
|
and an {IAccessible, Child ID} pair.
|
|
|
|
@section _variants VARIANTs
|
|
Some methods return a VARIANT. Implementers need to make sure that the return type is
|
|
specified, i.e. VT_I4, VT_IDISPATCH, etc. The methods that return VARIANTs are
|
|
IAccessibleHyperlink::anchor, IAccessibleHyperlink::anchorTarget, IAccessibleValue::currentValue,
|
|
IAccessibleValue::maximumValue, IAccessibleValue::minimumValue.
|
|
|
|
@section _iaaction-iahyperlink IAccessibleHyperlink as subclass of IAccessibleAction
|
|
In this version of the IDL, IAccessibleHyperlink is a subclass of IAccessibleAction.
|
|
However, there is no practical need for that inheritance and in some cases, such as
|
|
an image map of smart tags, it doesn't make sense because such an image map doesn't
|
|
have actionable objects; it's the secondary smart tags that are actionable. As a
|
|
result, implementations should not rely on the inheritance as it may be removed in
|
|
a later version of the IDL.

/** @brief Returns the unique ID.
|
|
|
|
The uniqueID is an identifier for this object, is unique within the
|
|
current window, and remains the same for the lifetime of the accessible
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
The uniqueID is not related to:
|
|
- the MSAA objectID which is used by the server to disambiguate between
|
|
IAccessibles per HWND or
|
|
- the MSAA childID which is used to disambiguate between children being
|
|
managed by an IAccessible.
|
|
|
|
This value is provided so the AT can have access to a unique runtime persistent
|
|
identifier even when not handling an event for the object.
|
|
|
|
An example of when this value is useful is if the AT wants to build a cache.
|
|
The AT could cache the uniqueIDs in addition to other data being cached.
|
|
When an event is fired the AT could map the uniqueID to its internal model.
|
|
Thus, if there's a REORDER/SHOW/HIDE event the AT knows which part of the
|
|
internal structure has been invalidated and can refetch just that part.
|
|
|
|
This value can also be used by an AT to determine when the current control
|
|
has changed. If the role is the same for two controls that are adjacent in
|
|
the tab order, this can be used to detect the new control.
|
|
|
|
Another use of this value by an AT is to identify when a grouping object has
|
|
changed, e.g. when moving from a radio button in one group to a radio button in a
|
|
different group.
|
|
|
|
One means of implementing this would be to create a factory with a 32 bit number
|
|
generator and a reuse pool. The number generator would emit numbers starting
|
|
at 1. Each time an object's life cycle ended, its number would be saved into a
|
|
resuse pool. The number generator would be used whenever the reuse pool was empty.

|

A use case is when a screen reader is grabbing an entire web page on a page load.

Without the availability of windowHandle, the AT would have to get the window handle
|
|
by using WindowFromAccessibleObject on each IAccessible, which is slow because it's

implemented by oleacc.dll as a loop which crawls up the ancestor chain and looks for

a ROLE_WINDOW object, mapping that back to a window handle.
