According to section 7.1 of WAI-ARIA, the progressbar role
has the "Children presentational" characteristic, which
indicates that children should not be represented in
the a11y tree.
According to section 7.1 of WAI-ARIA, the meter role
has the "Children presentational" characteristic, which
indicates that children should not be represented in
the a11y tree.
According to section 7.1 of WAI-ARIA, the switch role
has the "Children presentational" characteristic, which
indicates that children should not be represented in
the a11y tree.
According to section 7.1 of WAI-ARIA, the slider role
has the "Children presentational" characteristic, which
indicates that children should not be represented in
the a11y tree, which makes sense, since these are all
just internal gizmos.
Recompute the layout when the css style change
affects text attributes. This matches what we do
in GtkLabel, and without this, changing the
font-features-setting css property in the Inspector
does not have immediate effect.
The last event, matching lifting the finger/releasing the mouse button,
is important when there's a large delay between it and the previous events,
as in when performing a movement, stopping, then releasing fingers as
opposed to doing a swipe.
If this event is skipped, doing this will result in kinetic deceleration
matching the previous finger movement, while the expected behavior would
be no deceleration.
See also 5dc6194b98 for a similar fix in
GtkEventControllerScroll.
GtkAtSpiRoot is not a context, which means it needs to emit
ChildrenChanged events by itself whenever a toplevel is added to, or
removed from, the list of toplevels.
A bit hacky: we skip parsing values that have a reference or
reference-list type, but we do not error out. Instead, we return a NULL
value, which we catch in the GtkBuildable interface implementation to
get the actual object, and construct a reference list value.
There's still some ickyness around the value type that can only be
solved by having an attribute and role taxonomy.
Accessible attributes are not GObject properties. This means that we
need a custom parser for setting attributes in our UI description files.
The new section is defined as a sub-tree with the `<accessibility>`
element at its root, and elements for each type of accessible
attributes, i.e. properties, relations, and states:
```xml
<object class="..." id="...">
<accessibility>
<property name="label">The accessible label</property>
<state name="pressed">false</state>
<relation name="labelled-by">label1</relation>
</accessibility>
</object>
```
The name of the attribute is the enumeration value; the value is defined
by the WAI-ARIA specification.
The nameless, faceless gizmos inside a range do not
contribute to the accessible experience at all, lets
not add them to the tree. All the accessible functionality
is on the main widget (either a scale or a scrollbar).
Show the object path of the object on the a11y bus,
this is can be useful information. While we are here,
make sure that the Inspector does not throw criticals
when used with GTK_NO_A11Y=1.
There were several places where we were confusing
GList and GSList and list->data and list->next, causing
a crash in the accessible name computation for buttons
with mnemonic labels.
Anybody who keeps their own CSS nodes around or wants to order CSS nodes
different from widgets will from now on have to do it manually all the
time.
This is outdated behavior, nobody should be doing either of those two
things.
Also, the correct case is much more common, and not doing it
automatically was causing bugs.
Fixes#3280
The stack page objects were not properly integrated
in the accessible tree - they were appearing as parent
of the pages when navigating up, but not as children
of the stack when navigating down.
Instead of falling back to the role nick for both,
fall back to the class name for the name, and to
the empty string for the description. This makes
labels show up in Accerciser the same way they
did in GTK 3, and seems more useful to me than
the alternative.
The ARIA spec determines the name and description of accessible elements
in a more complex way that simply mapping to a single property; instead,
it will chain up multiple definitions (if it finds them). For instance,
let's assume we have a button that saves a file selected from a file
selection widget; the widgets have the following attributes:
- the file selection widget has a "label" attribute set to the
selected file, e.g. "Final paper.pdf"
- the "download" button has a "label" attribute set to the
"Download" string
- the "download" button has a "labelled-by" attribute set to
reference the file selection widget
The ARIA spec says that the accessible name of the "Download" button
should be computed as "Download Final paper.pdf".
The algorithm defined in section 4.3 of the WAI-ARIA specification
applies to both accessible names (using the "label" and "labelled-by"
attributes), and to accessible descriptions (using the "description" and
"described-by" attributes).
Our Text implementation requires that we have
a GtkEditable with a delegate that is a GtkText
widget.
This change make the Text implementation work for
the custom widget in the tagged entry demo.
Implement the non-questionable parts of the Component interface
for accessibles which are widgets.
This does not include:
- global coordinates
- setters
- scrolling
- alpha, layers, zorder, and the like
Make right-aligned content work in resized columns.
There is currently no way to make a title right-aligned,
but we can still make it work correctly. This is a follow
up to 7eb0ae39c5.
Fixes: #3276
When resizing columns, we clip a shrunk column
on the right, so the separator disappears in that
case unless we put it on the left side of the other
column.
Ensure that the column resize cursor stays in place
for the duration of the resize drag. This is a bit
annoying, since the implicit grab can end up on the
header of a different column from the one we are
resizing, so just set the cursor on all column headers.
Make it so that for overlapping resize rectangles (with
very narrow columns), we prefer the narrow column, so you
can regrow a column after shrinking it all the way.
Related: #3274
Ensure that we place the resize rectangle at the visible
right edge of the column, not where the allocation ends
(we clip the header drawing, after all).
Related: #3274
We only want to show relevant, local actions for
widgets, but _gtk_widget_get_action_muxer() will
return the muxer of a parent widget (all the way
up to the toplevel), if the widget does not have
any actions of its own. To detect this situation,
compare what _gtk_widget_get_action_muxer() returns
for the parent widget, and act accordingly.
The buttons here are not really buttons (the action
is not tied to the "clicked" signal), so triggering
the buttons via a11y does not have the expected effect.
And we expose the Value interface that ATs can use
to set the value.
The Selection interface is defined in terms of child
positions, so we need to always translate from that
to model positions if we want to use the selection
model apis.
Add a paragraph to the migration guide that explains
how to properly render symbolic GtkIconPaintables.
Also mention this in the GtkIconPaintable docs.
There's a reason you can't spell 'paintable' without
'pain'...
This implementation works for both GtkListView and
GtkGridView, and by extension, also for GtkColumnView
and GtkDropDown, since those just use a list view
internally.
Use the TREE_GRID, ROW, COLUMN_HEADER and GRID_CELL roles
for the various widgets involved in a GtkColumnView. To
enable this, we subclass GtkListView for the internal
list in the column view.
This is a bit different from the way things were done
in GTK 3 - we follow what was done for GtkStackSwitcher,
and make the tab bar carry the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_TAB_LIST
role, and implement Selection there.
Set up the necessary roles, relations and properties
for the tab patterns. This parallels what we have done
for GtkStackSwitcher, and implements the Tabs pattern
as described in the ARIA authoring guidelines.
Set the tablist role on the stackswitcher itself, and
the tab role on the buttons. This is another step towards
implementing the tabs pattern for GtkStack.
platform change is called from gtk_widget_set_focusable
which is likely to be called early on in init(). We don't
want to create an AT context that early if we can help
it, e.g. since it makes it impossible to override the
accessible-role with a construct property.
This requires some cleanup to remove assumptions
about accessibles being widgets in the backend,
and some code to navigate the tree with these
extra objects in between widgets.
The accessibles for stack pages have the role
GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_TAB_PANEL. This is the first
step towards implementing the tabs patterns
as described in the aria authoring guidelines
for GtkStack.
Like we do for GdkX11. We can't use all of the public C API, but we can
expose enough type information to allow non-C developers to actually
check if they are running the Wayland GDK backend or not—plus some
additional Wayland-specific API.
For the various uses of GDK_WINDOWING_QUARTZ, we need to use
alternatives from GDK_WINDOWING_MACOS.
Some minor loss of functionality is here, such as icons sent with
application menus. That can certainly be added back at a future
point.
We are not propagating focus change events, and that is the only
place where we are listening for focus change events. If GtkWindow
does not see focus-in events for its popovers, we end up with
inadvertendly inactive windows.
Fixes: #3240
Set the SELECTED state to reflect whether the selected
is selected, unselected, or unselectable. This is
enough to make selection changes appear in Accerciser.
While we are at it, also set the multi-selectable
property for the flowbox itself.
Non need to announce the same things for every context
we create, and the path is not really that interesting.
without knowing what it belongs to. I would suggest to
make it visible in the inspector instead, so you can
look it up for the widgets you are interested in.
Set the SELECTED state to reflect whether the row
is selected, unselected, or unselectable. This is
enough to make selection changes appear in Accerciser.
While we are at it, also set the multi-selectable
property for the listbox itself.
And honor it in gtk_popover_popdown(). By default, a GtkPopover
pops down automatically if a child popover was closed, if this
property is FALSE, the popover will remain opened.
We use to set the the 'password text' role for entries with
visibility = FALSE. Nowadays, we have a separate class for
password entries, so fix up the role mapping based on that.
Make text change notification work for editables, by connecting
to the ::insert-text and ::delete-text signals on the wrapped
GtkText widget, and for GtkTextView by connecting to the
corresponding GtkTextBuffer signals.
This code is more or less directly copied from GtkTextViewAccessible
and GtkEntryAccessible in GTK 3.
Since the big editable reorg, GtkText was not emitting
::insert-text and ::delete-text, as is expected of
editables. We want to use those signals for a11y
change notification, so make them work again.
This copies what was done for GtkEntry: get
the focused state from the GtkText within.
We also add a private getter for the text widget,
which was missing here.
As a companion to go with the platform_change api,
add a gtk_accessible_get_platform_state() function
that can be used by backends to get the platform
state.
This is in preparation for making entries inherit
their focus states from the text widget within.
Similar to gtk_widget_should_layout(), add a
gtk_accessible_should_present() function that backends can
use to determine whether an accessible should be presented
or not.
Ways to make a widget not presented in a11y:
- hide the widget
- set its role to NONE
- make it have a NULL AT context
We will use this in future to hide the GtkText inside
an entry, since the Text implementation will be done
by the wrapper.
We are determining editable state based on the
accessible role (although we could make it platform
state now), so cover all the roles that we use for
entry wrappers.
Add an enum for 'platform changes' to the at context
change notification mechanism. This will let us pass
along things that ARIA considers 'platform state' such
as focus or editability. The difference between the
platform state and other ARIA states is that we don't
keep the platform state separately in the at context
- backends are expected to just query the widgets.
This is just about avoiding notify listeners for
change notification.
We can use the read-only property, together with the
accessible role, to determine whether to set editable
and read-only states for at-spi. This lets us avoid
directly poking at the widgets.
ATs look at not just the implemented interfaces, but
also the states to decide what to do. It turns out that
the EditableText interface is only used by accerciser
if the editable state is set. So set it.
It is error prone to keep the same conditions in sync
in two places. Instead, just assemble the list of interfaces
as we register objects, and use when GetInterfaces is called.
Apply the Value implementation to the widgets where
we had one in GTK 3: GtkLevelBar, GtkRange, GtkScaleButton,
GtkSpinButton, GtkPaned, GtkProgressBar. To make these
work, the widgets need to set the accessible value properties.
There is some open question here whether the interface
should be implemented on the outer or the inner widget
of the entry-text pairs. For now, our hand is forced,
since only GtkText provides access to the layout that
we need for implementing many of the interface methods.
This is a not-quite-complete implementation of the
Text interface for GtkLabel. The missing parts are
anything around extents and positions, as well as
the ScrollSubstring apis.
This translates relations as far as the match.
I'm not sure yet what we can do about the fact that
atspi expects relations to be bidirectional (ie have
label-for *and* labelled-by) while aria has only one
direction.
It turns out that accerciser depends on this undocumented
method that is not in the xml at all, otherwise interface
sections in the accerciser ui never get enabled.
The ARIA spec defines the mechanism for determining the name of an
accessible element—see §4.3 of the WAI-ARIA spec.
We follow the specification as much as it makes sense for GTK to do
so:
1. if the element is hidden, return an empty string
1. if the element has a labelled-by relation set, retrieve the
label of the related element
2. if the element has a label property set, use the value of
the property
3. if neither labelled-by nor label attributes are set, we use
the role to compute the name:
- for a `range` role, we return the contents of the value of
the `value-text` or `value-now` properties
- for any other role, we return a textual representation of
the GtkAccessibleRole enumeration value
