Functions

atk_misc_get_instance

Obtain the singleton instance of AtkMisc for this application.

Available since: 1.13

Instance methods

atk_misc_threads_enter

Take the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_ENTER).

Available since: 1.13

Release the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. This method, and atk_misc_threads_enter, are needed in some situations by threaded application code which services ATK requests, since fulfilling ATK requests often requires calling into the GUI toolkit. If a long-running or potentially blocking call takes place inside such a block, it should be bracketed by atk_misc_threads_leave/atk_misc_threads_enter calls. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_LEAVE).

Available since: 1.13

Methods inherited from AtkObject (26)

atk_object_add_relationship

Adds a relationship of the specified type with the specified target.

atk_object_connect_property_change_handler

Calls handler on property changes.

Deprecated since: 2.12

atk_object_get_accessible_id

Gets the accessible id of the accessible.

Available since: 2.34

atk_object_get_attributes

Get a list of properties applied to this object as a whole, as an AtkAttributeSet consisting of name-value pairs. As such these attributes may be considered weakly-typed properties or annotations, as distinct from strongly-typed object data available via other get/set methods. Not all objects have explicit “name-value pair” AtkAttributeSet properties.

Available since: 1.12

atk_object_get_description

Gets the accessible description of the accessible.

atk_object_get_index_in_parent

Gets the 0-based index of this accessible in its parent; returns -1 if the accessible does not have an accessible parent.

atk_object_get_layer

Gets the layer of the accessible.

atk_object_get_mdi_zorder

Gets the zorder of the accessible. The value G_MININT will be returned if the layer of the accessible is not ATK_LAYER_MDI.

atk_object_get_n_accessible_children

Gets the number of accessible children of the accessible.

atk_object_get_name

Gets the accessible name of the accessible.

atk_object_get_object_locale

Gets a UTF-8 string indicating the POSIX-style LC_MESSAGES locale of accessible.

Available since: 2.8

atk_object_get_parent

Gets the accessible parent of the accessible. By default this is the one assigned with atk_object_set_parent(), but it is assumed that ATK implementors have ways to get the parent of the object without the need of assigning it manually with atk_object_set_parent(), and will return it with this method.

atk_object_get_role

Gets the role of the accessible.

atk_object_initialize

This function is called when implementing subclasses of AtkObject. It does initialization required for the new object. It is intended that this function should called only in the …_new() functions used to create an instance of a subclass of AtkObject.

atk_object_notify_state_change

Emits a state-change signal for the specified state.

atk_object_peek_parent

Gets the accessible parent of the accessible, if it has been manually assigned with atk_object_set_parent. Otherwise, this function returns NULL.

atk_object_ref_accessible_child

Gets a reference to the specified accessible child of the object. The accessible children are 0-based so the first accessible child is at index 0, the second at index 1 and so on.

atk_object_ref_relation_set

Gets the AtkRelationSet associated with the object.

atk_object_ref_state_set

Gets a reference to the state set of the accessible; the caller must unreference it when it is no longer needed.

atk_object_remove_property_change_handler

Removes a property change handler.

Deprecated since: 2.12

atk_object_remove_relationship

Removes a relationship of the specified type with the specified target.

atk_object_set_accessible_id

Sets the accessible ID of the accessible. This is not meant to be presented to the user, but to be an ID which is stable over application development. Typically, this is the gtkbuilder ID. Such an ID will be available for instance to identify a given well-known accessible object for tailored screen reading, or for automatic regression testing.

Available since: 2.34

atk_object_set_description

Sets the accessible description of the accessible. You can’t set the description to NULL. This is reserved for the initial value. In this aspect NULL is similar to ATK_ROLE_UNKNOWN. If you want to set the name to a empty value you can use “”.

Signals

Signals inherited from AtkObject (6)

Atk.Object::active-descendant-changed

The “active-descendant-changed” signal is emitted by an object which has the state ATK_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS when the focus object in the object changes. For instance, a table will emit the signal when the cell in the table which has focus changes.

Atk.Object::children-changed

The signal “children-changed” is emitted when a child is added or removed form an object. It supports two details: “add” and “remove”

Atk.Object::focus-event

The signal “focus-event” is emitted when an object gained or lost focus.

Deprecated since: 2.9.4

Atk.Object::property-change

The signal “property-change” is emitted when an object’s property value changes. arg1 contains an AtkPropertyValues with the name and the new value of the property whose value has changed. Note that, as with GObject notify, getting this signal does not guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed; it may also be emitted when the setter of the property is called to reinstate the previous value.

Atk.Object::state-change

The “state-change” signal is emitted when an object’s state changes. The detail value identifies the state type which has changed.

Atk.Object::visible-data-changed

The “visible-data-changed” signal is emitted when the visual appearance of the object changed.

Virtual methods

Atk.MiscClass.threads_enter

Take the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_ENTER).

Available since: 1.13

Atk.MiscClass.threads_leave

Release the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. This method, and atk_misc_threads_enter, are needed in some situations by threaded application code which services ATK requests, since fulfilling ATK requests often requires calling into the GUI toolkit. If a long-running or potentially blocking call takes place inside such a block, it should be bracketed by atk_misc_threads_leave/atk_misc_threads_enter calls.
