Enumeration

AtspiKeyListenerSyncType

Declaration

flags Atspi.KeyListenerSyncType

Description [src]

Specifies the type of a key listener event. The values above can and should be bitwise-‘OR’-ed together, observing the compatibility limitations specified in the description of each value. For instance, #ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_ALL_WINDOWS | #ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_CANCONSUME is a commonly used combination which gives the AT complete control over the delivery of matching events. However, such filters should be used sparingly as they may have a negative impact on system performance.

Members

ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_NOSYNC

Events may be delivered asynchronously, which means in some cases they may already have been delivered to the application before the AT client receives the notification.

  • Value: 0
  • Available since: 2.0
ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_SYNCHRONOUS

Events are delivered synchronously, before the currently focussed application sees them.

  • Value: 1
  • Available since: 2.0
ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_CANCONSUME

Events may be consumed by the AT client. Presumes and requires #ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_SYNCHRONOUS, incompatible with #ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_NOSYNC.

  • Value: 2
  • Available since: 2.0
ATSPI_KEYLISTENER_ALL_WINDOWS

Events are received not from the application toolkit layer, but from the device driver or windowing system subsystem; such notifications are ‘global’ in the sense that they are not broken or defeated by applications that participate poorly in the accessibility APIs, or not at all; however because of the intrusive nature of such snooping, it can have side-effects on certain older platforms. If unconditional event notifications, even when inaccessible or “broken” applications have focus, are not required, it may be best to avoid this enum value/flag.

  • Value: 4
  • Available since: 2.0
