Known Implementations

AtkText is implemented by AtkNoOpObject.

Includes

#include <atk/atk.h>

Description

AtkText should be implemented by AtkObjects on behalf of widgets that have text content which is either attributed or otherwise non-trivial. AtkObjects whose text content is simple, unattributed, and very brief may expose that content via atk_object_get_name instead; however if the text is editable, multi-line, typically longer than three or four words, attributed, selectable, or if the object already uses the 'name' ATK property for other information, the AtkText interface should be used to expose the text content. In the case of editable text content, AtkEditableText (a subtype of the AtkText interface) should be implemented instead.

AtkText provides not only traversal facilities and change notification for text content, but also caret tracking and glyph bounding box calculations. Note that the text strings are exposed as UTF-8, and are therefore potentially multi-byte, and caret-to-byte offset mapping makes no assumptions about the character length; also bounding box glyph-to-offset mapping may be complex for languages which use ligatures.

atk_text_set_caret_offset ()

gboolean
atk_text_set_caret_offset (AtkText *text,
                           gint offset);

Sets the caret (cursor) position to the specified offset .

In the case of rich-text content, this method should either grab focus or move the sequential focus navigation starting point (if the application supports this concept) as if the user had clicked on the new caret position. Typically, this means that the target of this operation is the node containing the new caret position or one of its ancestors. In other words, after this method is called, if the user advances focus, it should move to the first focusable node following the new caret position.

Calling this method should also scroll the application viewport in a way that matches the behavior of the application's typical caret motion or tab navigation as closely as possible. This also means that if the application's caret motion or focus navigation does not trigger a scroll operation, this method should not trigger one either. If the application does not have a caret motion or focus navigation operation, this method should try to scroll the new caret position into view while minimizing unnecessary scroll motion.

Parameters

text

an AtkText

 

offset

the character offset of the new caret position

 

Returns

TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise.

Signal Details

The “text-attributes-changed” signal

void
user_function (AtkText *atktext,
               gpointer user_data)

The "text-attributes-changed" signal is emitted when the text attributes of the text of an object which implements AtkText changes.

Parameters

atktext

the object which received the signal.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last


The “text-caret-moved” signal

void
user_function (AtkText *atktext,
               gint     arg1,
               gpointer user_data)

The "text-caret-moved" signal is emitted when the caret position of the text of an object which implements AtkText changes.

Parameters

atktext

the object which received the signal.

 

arg1

The new position of the text caret.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last


The “text-changed” signal

void
user_function (AtkText *atktext,
               gint     arg1,
               gint     arg2,
               gpointer user_data)

The "text-changed" signal is emitted when the text of the object which implements the AtkText interface changes, This signal will have a detail which is either "insert" or "delete" which identifies whether the text change was an insertion or a deletion.

AtkText::text-changed has been deprecated since version 2.9.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use “text-insert” or “text-remove” instead.

Parameters

atktext

the object which received the signal.

 

arg1

The position (character offset) of the insertion or deletion.

 

arg2

The length (in characters) of text inserted or deleted.

 

user_data

               gchar   *arg3,
               gpointer user_data)

The "text-insert" signal is emitted when a new text is inserted. If the signal was not triggered by the user (e.g. typing or pasting text), the "system" detail should be included.
