Isn't role pretty much always the first thing an AT asks any accessible object?
Carolyn Re: [Accessibility-ia2] Deprecation of IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE David Bolter to: accessibility-ia2 04/09/2010 03:11 PM Sent by: [email protected] The only concern I have is that Firefox has exposed it for a while; although that doesn't necessarily stop deprecation. Also I think Alexander's point is valid here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00185.html Is it perhaps easier for AT to just check the state bit, rather than the role as well? cheers, David On 09/04/10 2:33 PM, Carolyn MacLeod wrote: Going once, going twice.... ? I need to decide whether or not to delete the single-line state bit from the Eclipse API before April 30.

Back in the fall, Andres asked why IA2 provides both IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE and IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE state bits. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00173.html They would seem to be mutually exclusive, and having both takes up a precious bit in the 32-bit strip. Is there ever a case where an object can be neither single-line nor multi-line? Is there ever a case where an object can be both single-line and multi-line? In the conversation on the ia2 list, Jamie said that he had never even noticed the single-line bit. This is a possible source of error, for example if an application only notices and sets/clears the "single" bit, but the AT only looks at the "multi" bit. The list discussion kind of ended with "oh well, whatever". I propose deprecating IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE.
