Since we are discussing an update to the table interface to provide a
new method to get a list of header cells for specified cell index and
since that will cause the creation of IAccessibleTable2 we need to
discuss related IATable issues.
1) Since cells are not necessarily children, rename the following methods:
childIndex to cellIndex
selectedChildren to selectedCells
nSelectedChildren to nSelectedCells
Note: We've already changed the parameter names and related docs to use
the word cell instead of child but didn't want to change the method
names up to this point so as to not have to rev the IDL.
2) During our meeting of April 29, 2008 Andres said he would like to see
the use of cell indexes replaced with references to a cell's accessible.
For example, instead of giving the table a cell index and asking for the
row and column indexes, give the table a reference to the cell and and
let the table return the row and column indexes.
This would impact the following methods:
childIndex ([in] long rowIndex,[in] long columnIndex,[out, retval] long
*cellIndex)
return a reference to an accessible (actually an IUknown)
columnIndex ([in] long cellIndex,[out, retval] long *columnIndex)
change the [in] to a reference to an accessible (an IUknown)
rowIndex ([in] long cellIndex,[out, retval] long *rowIndex)
ditto
selectedChildren ([in] long maxChildren,[out, size_is(, maxChildren),
length_is(,*nChildren)] long **children,[out, retval] long *nChildren)
return an array of references to IUnknowns
What are your thoughts on these changes?
