623 /** @brief Returns an array of BSTRs describing one or more key bindings, if
624 there are any, associated with the specified action.
626 The returned strings are the localized human readable key sequences to be
627 used to activate each action, e.g. "Ctrl+Shift+D". Since these key
628 sequences are to be used when the object has focus, they are like
629 mnemonics (access keys), and not like shortcut (accelerator) keys.
631 There is no need to implement this method for single action controls since
632 that would be redundant with the standard MSAA programming practice of
633 getting the mnemonic from get_accKeyboardShortcut.
635 An AT such as an On Screen Keyboard might not expose these bindings but
636 provide alternative means of activation.
638 Note: the client allocates and passes in an array of pointers. The server
639 allocates the BSTRs and passes back one or more pointers to these BSTRs into
640 the array of pointers allocated by the client. The client is responsible
641 for deallocating the BSTRs.
643 @param [in] actionIndex
644 0 based index specifying which action's key bindings should be returned.

649 An array of BSTRs, allocated by the server, one for each key binding.
650 The client must free it with CoTaskMemFree.

1361 @section _errors Error Handling
1362 HRESULT values are defined by the Microsoft&reg; Win32&reg; API. For more information, refer to
1363 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa378137%28v=vs.85%29.aspx">
1364 Interpreting HRESULT Values</a> in MSDN&reg;.
1366 Note that the S_FALSE return value is considered a non-error value and the
1367 SUCCEEDED macro will return TRUE. S_FALSE is used when there is no failure
1368 but there was nothing valid to return, e.g. in IAccessible2::attributes when
1369 there are no attributes. When S_FALSE is returned [out] pointer types should
1370 be NULL and [out] longs should generally be 0, but sometimes -1 is used such
1371 as IAccessible2::indexInParent, IAccessibleText::caretOffset, and
1372 IAccessibleHypertext::hyperlinkIndex.
1374 Note that for BSTR [out] variables common COM practice is that the server does
1375 the SysAllocString and the client does the SysFreeString. Also note that when
1376 NULL is returned there is no need for the client to call SysFreeString. Please
1377 refer to the documentation for each method for more details regarding error handling.
1379 @section _memory Memory Management
1380 The following memory management issues should be considered:
1381 @li Although [out] BSTR variables are declared by the client, their space is
1382 allocated by the server. They need to be freed with SysFreeString by the
1383 client at end of life; the same is true when BSTRs are used in structs or
1384 arrays which are passed to the server.
1385 @li If there is no valid [out] BSTR to return, the server should return S_FALSE and
1386 assign NULL to the output, e.g. *theOutBSTR = NULL;.
1387 @li COM interfaces need to be referenced with AddRef when used and dereferenced
1388 with Release at end of life.
1389 @li Single [out] longs, HWNDs, booleans, and structs are declared by the caller
1390 and passed by reference. The marshaller does all the memory management.
1392 The following articles may be helpful for understanding memory management issues:
1393 @li An article by Don Box in a
1394 <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/msj/1196/activex1196.aspx">Q & A section</a>
1395 of the November 1996 edition of the Microsoft Systems Journal.
1396 @li A posting to a CodeGuru forum,
1397 <a href="http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364511">Windows SDK
1398 String: What are the rules for BSTR allocation and deallocation?</a>
1400 @subsection _arrayConsideration Special Consideration when using Arrays
1401 There are several methods which return arrays. In the case of IAccessible2::relations
1402 and IAccessibleRelation::targets the client must allocate and free the arrays.
1404 For the remaining methods which return arrays, the server must allocate the array
1405 and the client must free the array when no longer needed. These methods are
1406 IAccessible2::extendedStates, IAccessible2::localizedExtendedStates,
1407 IAccessible2_2::relationTargetsOfType, IAccessibleAction::keyBinding,
1408 IAccessibleHypertext2::hyperlinks, IAccessibleTable::selectedChildren,
1409 IAccessibleTable::selectedColumns, IAccessibleTable::selectedRows,
1410 IAccessibleTable2::selectedCells, IAccessibleTable2::selectedColumns,
1411 IAccessibleTable2::selectedRows, IAccessibleTableCell::columnHeaderCells,
1412 and IAccessibleTableCell::rowHeaderCells.
1413 For those methods, the server must allocate both the top level array and any storage
1414 associated with it, e.g. for BSTRs. The server must allocate the arrays with
1415 CoTaskMemAlloc and any BSTRs with SysAllocString. The client must use CoTaskMemFree
1416 to free the array and any BSTRs must be freed with SysFreeString.
1418 Also, the IDL for IAccessible2::extendedStates, IAccessible2::localizedExtendedStates,
1419 IAccessibleAction::keyBinding, IAccessibleTable::selectedChildren,
1420 IAccessibleTable::selectedColumns, and IAccessibleTable::selectedRows includes an
1421 extraneous [in] parameter for the caller to specify the max size of the array.
1422 This parameter will be ignored by the COM server.
1424 @section _indexes Zero and One Based Indexes
1425 Unless otherwise specified all offsets and indexes are 0 based.
1427 @section _enumBase Enum Base
1428 Note that enums start at 0.
1430 @section _specialOffsets Special Offsets for use in the IAccessibleText and IAccessibleEditableText Methods
1431 IAccessibleText and IAccessibleEditableText can use one or more of the following
1432 special offset values. They are defined in the ::IA2TextSpecialOffsets enum.
1433 @li Using ::IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_LENGTH (-1) as an offset in any of the IAccessibleText or
1434 IAccessibleEditableText methods is the same as specifying the length of the string.
1435 @li Using ::IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET (-2) as an offset for IAccessibleText::textBeforeOffset,
1436 IAccessibleText::textAtOffset, and IAccessibleText::textAfterOffset indicates that the
1437 text related to the physical location of the caret should be used. This is needed for
1438 applications that consider the character offset of the end of one line (as reached by
1439 pressing the End key) the same as the offset of the first character on the next line.
1440 Since the same offset is associated with two different lines a special means is needed
1441 to fetch text from the line where the caret is physically located.
1443 @section _dicoveringInterfaces Discovery of Interfaces
1444 In general AT (Assistive Technology) should try IAccessible2 interfaces, followed by using
1445 the MSAA (Microsoft&reg; Active Accessibility&reg;) interfaces. (In cases where the an application
1446 is known to have custom interfaces which provide information not supplied by IAccessible2
1447 or MSAA, then those custom interfaces can be used.) The AT can then, by default, support
1448 unknown IAccessible2/MSAA applications, without the application developers having to request
1449 AT vendors for support on an individual application by application basis.
1451 When you have a reference to an IAccessible and require a reference to an IAccessible2 use
1452 QueryService as follows:
1453 @code
1454 // pAcc is a reference to the accessible object's IAccessible interface.
1455 IServiceProvider *pService = NULL;
1456 hr = pAcc->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void **)&pService);
1457 if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
1458 IAccessible2 *pIA2 = NULL;
1459 hr = pService->QueryService(IID_IAccessible, IID_IAccessible2, (void**)&pIA2);
1460 if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pIA2) {
1461 // The control supports IAccessible2.
1462 // pIA2 is the reference to the accessible object's IAccessible2 interface.
1465 @endcode
1467 @section _changingInterfaces Changing between Accessible Interfaces
1468 Note that developers must always implement MSAA's IAccessible and, if needed, some
1469 of the interfaces in the set of IAccessible2 interfaces. Although the IAccessible2
1470 IDL is coded such that IAccessible2 is a subclass of MSAA's IAccessible, none of
1471 MSAA's IAccessible methods are redefined by IAccessible2.
1473 QueryService must be used to switch from a reference to an MSAA IAccessible interface
1474 to another interface. This has been
1475 <a href="http://www.atia.org/files/public/Introducing_IAccessibleEx.doc">
1476 documented</a> and the pertinent facts have been extracted below:
1478 @par
1479 Why use QueryService instead of just using QueryInterface to get IAccessibleEx
1480 directly? The reason is that since MSAA 2.0, clients don't talk to a server's
1481 IAccessible interface directly; instead they talk to an intermediate MSAA-provided
1482 wrapper that calls through to the original IAccessible. This wrapper provides services
1483 such as implementing IDispatch, supplying information from MSAA 2.0's Dynamic Annotation
1484 service, and scaling locations when running on Windows Vista with DPI scaling enabled.
1485 QueryService is the supported way to expose additional interfaces from an existing
1486 IAccessible and was originally used by MSHTML to expose IHTMLElement objects corresponding
1487 to IAccessibles. QueryService is often more convenient for servers to implement than
1488 QueryInterface because it does not have the same requirements for preserving object
1489 identity or symmetry/transitivity as QueryInterface, so QueryService allows servers to
1490 easily implement the interface on the same object or a separate object. The latter is
1491 often hard to do with QueryInterface unless the original object supports aggregation.
1493 Two related references in MSDN&reg; are:
1494 @li <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms696078(VS.85).aspx">
1495 "Using QueryService to expose a native object model interface for an IAccessible object"</a>
1496 @li <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms528415.aspx#acc_obj">
1497 "Accessing the Internet Explorer Object Associated with an Accessible Object"</a>
1499 Based on this information from Microsoft, QueryService must be used to switch back and forth
1500 between a reference to an MSAA IAccessible interface and any of the IAccessible2 interfaces.
1502 Regarding switching between any of the IAccessible2 interfaces, applications implementing
1503 IAccessible2 should implement the IAccessible2 interfaces on a single object since ATs
1504 will be using QueryInterface to switch between the IAccessilbe2 interfaces. Implementing
1505 the IAccessible2 interfaces on separate objects would require the use of QueryService.
1506 There is one exception, IAccessibleApplication can be implemented on a separate object so
1507 its common code doesn't have to be included in each accessible object. ATs should use
1508 QueryService to access IAccessibleApplication.
1510 @section _applicationInfo Access to Information about the Application
1511 Servers implementing IAccessible2 should provide access to the IAccessibleApplication
1512 interface via QueryService from any object so that ATs can easily determine specific
1513 information about the application such as its name or version.
1515 @section _childIDs Child IDs
1516 The IAccessible2 interfaces do not support child IDs, i.e. simple child elements.
1517 Full accessible objects must be created for each object that supports IAccessible2.
1518 Therefore MSAA's get_accChild should never return a child ID (other than CHILDID_SELF)
1519 for an object that implements any of the IAccessible2 interfaces.
1521 Microsoft's UI Automation specification has the same limitation and this was resolved
1522 in the UI Automation Express specification by adding IAccessibleEx::GetObjectForChild
1523 and IAccessibleEx::GetIAccessiblePair. These methods allow mapping back and forth
1524 between an IAccessibleEx and an {IAccessible, Child ID} pair. A future version of
1525 IAccessible2 may include similar methods to map back and forth between an IAccessible2
1526 and an {IAccessible, Child ID} pair.
1528 @section _variants VARIANTs
1529 Some methods return a VARIANT. Implementers need to make sure that the return type is
1530 specified, i.e. VT_I4, VT_IDISPATCH, etc. The methods that return VARIANTs are
1531 IAccessibleHyperlink::anchor, IAccessibleHyperlink::anchorTarget, IAccessibleValue::currentValue,
1532 IAccessibleValue::maximumValue, IAccessibleValue::minimumValue.
1534 @section _iaaction-iahyperlink IAccessibleHyperlink as subclass of IAccessibleAction
1535 In this version of the IDL, IAccessibleHyperlink is a subclass of IAccessibleAction.
1536 However, there is no practical need for that inheritance and in some cases, such as
1537 an image map of smart tags, it doesn't make sense because such an image map doesn't
1538 have actionable objects; it's the secondary smart tags that are actionable. As a
1539 result, implementations should not rely on the inheritance as it may be removed in
1540 a later version of the IDL.

1791 /** @brief Returns the unique ID.
1793 The uniqueID is an identifier for this object, is unique within the
1794 current window, and remains the same for the lifetime of the accessible
1795 object.
1797 The uniqueID is not related to:
1798 - the MSAA objectID which is used by the server to disambiguate between
1799 IAccessibles per HWND or
1800 - the MSAA childID which is used to disambiguate between children being
1801 managed by an IAccessible.
1803 This value is provided so the AT can have access to a unique runtime persistent
1804 identifier even when not handling an event for the object.
1806 An example of when this value is useful is if the AT wants to build a cache.
1807 The AT could cache the uniqueIDs in addition to other data being cached.
1808 When an event is fired the AT could map the uniqueID to its internal model.
1809 Thus, if there's a REORDER/SHOW/HIDE event the AT knows which part of the
1810 internal structure has been invalidated and can refetch just that part.
1812 This value can also be used by an AT to determine when the current control
1813 has changed. If the role is the same for two controls that are adjacent in
1814 the tab order, this can be used to detect the new control.
1816 Another use of this value by an AT is to identify when a grouping object has
1817 changed, e.g. when moving from a radio button in one group to a radio button in a
1818 different group.
1820 One means of implementing this would be to create a factory with a 32 bit number
1821 generator and a reuse pool. The number generator would emit numbers starting
1822 at 1. Each time an object's life cycle ended, its number would be saved into a
1823 reuse pool. The number generator would be used whenever the reuse pool was empty.
1825 Another way to create a unique ID is to generate it from a pointer value, e.g. an
1826 object's address. That would be unique because no two active objects can use the
1827 same allocated memory space.

1841 access the window handle in cases where an event isn't fired on this object.
1843 A use case is when a screen reader is grabbing an entire web page on a page load.
1844 Without the availability of windowHandle, the AT would have to get the window handle
1845 by using WindowFromAccessibleObject on each IAccessible, which is slow because it's
1846 implemented by oleacc.dll as a loop which crawls up the ancestor chain and looks for
1847 a ROLE_WINDOW object, mapping that back to a window handle.

2384 However, text can not be modified with this interface. That is the task
2385 of the IAccessibleEditableText interface.
2387 The text length, i.e. the number of characters in the text, is
2388 returned by IAccessibleText::nCharacters. All methods that operate
2389 on particular characters (e.g. IAccessibleText::textAtOffset) use character
2390 indices from 0 to length-1. All methods that operate on character positions
2391 (e.g. IAccessibleText::text) use indices from 0 to length.
2393 Please note that accessible text does not necessarily support selection.
2394 In this case it should behave as if there where no selection. An empty
2395 selection is used for example to express the current cursor position.

3115 This interface is typically used in conjunction with the IAccessibleText
3116 interface and complements that interface with the additional capability of
3117 clipboard operations. Note that even a read only text object can support
3118 the copy capability so this interface is not limited to editable objects.
3120 The substrings used with this interface are specified as follows:
3121 If startOffset is less than endOffset, the substring starts with the
3122 character at startOffset and ends with the character just before endOffset.
3123 If endOffset is lower than startOffset, the result is the same as a call
3124 with the two arguments exchanged. The whole text can be defined by passing
3125 the indices zero and IAccessibleText::nCharacters. If both indices have the
3126 same value, an empty string is defined.

3375 /** @brief This interface represents hyperlinks.
3377 This interface represents a hyperlink associated with a single substring
3378 of text or single non-text object. Non-text objects can have either a
3379 single link or a collection of links such as when the non-text object is
3380 an image map.
3382 Linked objects and anchors are implementation dependent. This interface is derived
3383 from IAccessibleAction. IAccessibleAction::nActions is one greater than the
3384 maximum value for the indices used with the methods of this interface.
3386 Furthermore, the object that implements this interface has to be connected
3387 implicitly or explicitly with an object that implements IAccessibleText.
3388 IAccessibleHyperlink::startIndex and IAccessibleHyperlink::endIndex are
3389 indices with respect to the text exposed by IAccessibleText.
3391 This interface provides access to a single object which can have multiple actions.
3392 An example is an image map which is an image with multiple links each of which is
3393 associated with a separate non-overlapping area of the image. This interface could
3394 also be applied to other kinds of objects with multiple actions such as "smart tags"
3395 which are objects, typically strings, which have multiple actions such as
3396 "Activate URI", "Bookmark URI", etc.
3398 An interesting use case is an image map where each area is associated with multiple
3399 actions, e.g. an image map of smart tags. In this case you would have to implement
3400 two levels of accessible hyperlinks. The first level hyperlinks would only implement
3401 anchor and anchorTarget. The anchors would all reference the image object. The
3402 anchorTargets would reference the second level accessible hyperlink objects. None
3403 of the IAccessibleAction methods would be implemented on the first level hyperlink
3404 objects. The second level hyperlink objects would implement the IAccessibleAction
3405 methods. Their anchors would also reference the image object and their anchorTargets
3406 would reference URLs or the objects that would be activated.
3408 This use case demonstrates that in some cases there is no need for IAccessibleHyperlink
3409 to derive from IAccessibleAction. As a result it may be removed in a later version of
3410 the IDL and it is suggested that implementations should not rely on the inheritance.

3773 /** @brief This interface gives access to a two-dimensional table.
3775 Typically all accessible objects that represent cells or cell-clusters of a table
3776 will be at the same time children of the table. In this case IAccessible2::indexInParent
3777 will return the child index which then can be used when calling IAccessibleTable::rowIndex
3778 and IAccessibleTable::columnIndex.
3780 However, in some cases that kind of implementation will not be possible. When
3781 the table cells are not direct children of a table, the object representing
3782 the cell can define a "table-cell-index" object attribute identifying the 0
3783 based table cell index. This object attribute is obtained by parsing the
3784 attribute string returned by IAccessible2::attributes. The "table-cell-index"
3785 attribute can be used just like a child index of the typical case. ATs should
3786 first test for the presence of the "table-cell-index" attribute and if it is not
3787 present then IAccessible2::indexInParent can be used as in the typical case
3788 where cells are direct children of the table.
3790 The range of valid coordinates for this interface are implementation dependent.
3791 However, that range includes at least the intervals from the from the first row
3792 or column with the index 0 up to the last (but not including) used row or column
3793 as returned by IAccessibleTable::nRows and IAccessibleTable::nColumns.
3795 Note that newer implementations are now using IAccessibleTable2 and IAccessibleTableCell
3796 rather than this interface.

4896 This interface is used for a representation of images like icons on buttons.
4897 %IAccessibleImage only needs to be implemented in certain situations. Some
4898 examples are:
4899 <ol>
4900 <li>The accessible name and description are not enough to fully
4901 describe the image, e.g. when the accessible description is used to define the
4902 behavior of an actionable image and the image itself conveys semantically
4903 significant information.
4904 <li>The user can edit the content that includes an
4905 image and therefore the user needs to be able to review the image's position.
