Hi Udayan and Evan; In the case you mention below, the assistive technology should check for the presence of the Accessibility_Text interface. In most cases (i.e. other than text entry fields, for instance), the assistive technology should expose the contents of the Text interface to the end-user, not the 'name' property. This would solve your problem/issue.
I agree that widget accessible-name properties should be end-user-usable as well. regards Bill Evan Yan wrote: > Udayan Singh wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> I have been using "cspi" (i.e. at-spi) library in my application. >> Scenario is that I am using HTML programming on web page and the >> application is executing in GNOME environment (GTK+ is for UI and C >> Programming). >> >> So the web page has something like this : >> >> >> ..... >> >> <p> >> <label for="Label2">Label2:</label> >> <input type="text" name="Lb2" id="Label2" value="Some Text" /> >> </p> >> >> >> > [...] > >> Now if i click on the text box that Label2 will have then the output >> that I get is : >> >> Name of event's source : Label2 >> >> > I think that's the correct behavior. > "Lb2" is the programming name of the textfield, not visible to users, > while "Label2" labeled the textfield, is just what's meaningful to end > users. > So from accessibility's aspect, we should expose "Label2" but not "Lb2" > to users. > > -Evan > >> ................................................ >> But I want to get the "name" i.e. "Lb2". >> >> Which API should I use to get this done ?
