Hi, I think this sounds good. Brett

Here is a draft for review. HRESULT IAccessible2_2::offsetInParentText ( [out] long* offset ); Return text offset in parent. Determine the parent accessible which implements IAccessibleText and return the offset in that object which corresponds to the beginning of the text associated with this accessible. If this accessible implements IAccessibleText, 0 will be returned. Returns: S_OK is returned if this accessible or a parent accessible implements IAccessibleText. S_FALSE is returned if no nodes implementing IAccessibleText are found; [out] value is 0. On 2/5/13 10:58 PM, Alexander Surkov wrote: Hi, Pete. Options were discussed: 1) make text leaf accessible implement IAccessibleText (I didn't like it, see http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2012-November/001731.html) 2) make text leaf accessible implement IAccessibleHyperLink (I didn't like it, see http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2012-November/001731.html) 3) add a new method DescendantOffset(IAccessible* acc, long* offset) like Brett suggested (see http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2012-November/001729.html). I don't mind. It's easy to implement. 4) do nothing (Jamie mentioned that pure IAccessibleText/HyperLink/HyperText should work also as alternative approach to the approach described by Brett, but here we probably run into restrictions of proprietary softwares). Thank you. Alex.

We're very near the end of discussions for IA2 1.3 and wanted to see if more discussion is needed on this issue. -Pete On 11/26/12 7:03 PM, James Teh wrote: On 27/11/2012 8:02 AM, Brett Lewis wrote: I am getting the Iaccessible tree. I then find that I want the text attributes for one of my leaf nodes and find that I have to go back up the Iaccessible tree to find the nearest Iaccessible node that allow QI to IAccessibleText and then trying to figure out how to map the result back down to my Iaccessible leaf node. If you can, for Mozilla, it's best to ignore leaf nodes altogether; i.e. pretend they don't exist. That way, you're only dealing with nodes that support IAccessibleText. However, there may well be a good reason you can't do this.
