ATK Implementation Proposal
Draft 0.5

The following table lists all the widgets currently in the GTK+ 2.0 API. It outlines which of the ATK interfaces needs to be implemented on which GTK+ widgets. An 'X' in the column indicates that the interface must be implemented specifically for the widget type listed. If a column for a specific interface is blank, it means either that the widget does not support the interface, or that it inherits its implementation of that interface from an ancestor widget.

Note also that some GTK+ widgets represent base classes. This table suggests that some ATK interfaces be implemented on these base classes, so as to minimize engineering work, and allow as many widgets to inherit a single interface implementation as possible. Because some GTK+ widgets are base classes, they do not represent widgets in the UI, and therefore, the ATK_ROLE column contains 'N/A'.

The 'Requires Impl.' column indicates whether I believed that specific engineering work will be required to implement accessibility on a widget. Click on the name of any widget to scroll to my notes about it and a link to its API documentation.

GtkWidget Notes

GtkWidget API Documentation
Accessible Implementation: GailWidget

Accessibility Property/Interface	Implementation Notes
Accessible Name	Queries the name member of the GtkWidget structure. If empty, returns NULL.
Accessible Description	This function checks to see if a tooltip exists for the widget, and if so, returns the text of the tooltip as the widget description. If not, it returns a stock description based on the widget type.
Accessible Role	Implementation maps the gtype of the GtkWidget to the appropriate ATK_ROLE. The implementation of get_accessible_role and set_accessible_role in GailWidget handles getting and setting accessible roles for all types derived from GailWidget
Accessible Children	Not Implemented (not all widgets have children)
AtkAction Interface	Basic support for accelerators inherited by all descendants of GailWidget
