Hi Alex,
I agree on 'current' object attribute, not sure ACTIVE_STATE is a
proper mapping for both IA2 and ATK (ATK defines it as "Indicates a
window is currently the active window"). Why do you think it's worth
to set up the state?
Short answer: because Joanie told me so. :-)
Longer answer: the documentation for ACTIVE_STATE says more than just
the currently active window . It also notes:
- It is used to indicate the active subelement within a container.
- It is *not* used to indicate focus. Use STATE_FOCUSED to indicate focus.
- It is *not* used to indicate selection. Use STATE_SELECTED to indicate
selection.
See
https://developer.gnome.org/atk/unstable/atk-AtkState.html#AtkStateType.
You'll have to scroll down to and look for ATK_STATE_ACTIVE since there
is no direct link.
Also, the state is useful for state change events. See:
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#event-aria-current.
I should have pointed to the event mappings in my last email since they
the IA2 mappings need confirmation there too.
Thanks.
