\brief The QAccessibleTextInterface class implements support for
the IAccessibleText interface.
\brief The QAccessibleTextInterface class implements support for text handling.
This interface corresponds to the IAccessibleText interface.
It should be implemented for widgets that display more text than a plain label.
Labels should be represented by only \l QAccessibleInterface
and return their text as name (\l QAccessibleInterface::text() with \l QAccessible::Name as type).
The QAccessibleTextInterface is typically for text that a screen reader
might want to read line by line, and for widgets that support text selection and input.
This interface is, for example, implemented for QLineEdit.
Editable text objects should also implement \l QAccessibleEditableTextInterface.

When implementing this interface you will almost certainly also want to implement \l QAccessibleTextInterface.
Since this interface can be implemented by means of the normal \l QAccessibleTextInterface,
\l QAccessibleSimpleEditableTextInterface provides a convenience implementation of this interface.
Consider inheriting \l QAccessibleSimpleEditableTextInterface instead.

invocable actions in the interface.
Each accessible should implement the action interface if it supports any actions.
The supported actions should adhere to the naming scheme inside the QAccessible2 namespace.
Custom actions can be added.
The supported actions should use the predefined actions offered in this class unless they do not
fit a predefined action. In that case a custom action can be added.
When subclassing QAccessibleActionInterface you need to provide a list of actionNames which
is the primary means to discover the available actions. Action names are never localized.
In order to present actions to the user there are two functions that need to return localized versions
of the name and give a description of the action.
of the name and give a description of the action. For the predefined action names use
\l QAccessibleActionInterface::localizedActionName() and \l QAccessibleActionInterface::localizedActionDescription()
to return their localized counterparts.
In order to invoke the action, doAction is called with an action name.
In general you should use one of the predefined action names, unless describing an action that does not fit these:
\table
\header \o Action name \o Description
\row \o \l checkAction() \o checks the item (checkbox, radio button, ...)
\row \o \l decreaseAction() \o decrease the value of the accessible (e.g. spinbox)
\row \o \l increaseAction() \o increase the value of the accessible (e.g. spinbox)
\row \o \l pressAction() \o press or click or activate the accessible (should correspont to clicking the object with the mouse)
\row \o \l setFocusAction() \o set the focus to this accessible
\row \o \l showMenuAction() \o show a context menu, corresponds to right-clicks
\row \o \l uncheckAction() \o uncheck the item (checkbox, radio button, ...)
\endtable
Most widgets will simply implement the PressAction. This is what happens when the widget is activated by
being clicked on, space pressed or similar.
