| <h1>Help for the AWB v1.7</h1> |
| |
| <p>The AWB, or <em>A</em>ccessibility <em>W</em>ork <em>B</em>ench, is a tool |
| for testing the implementation UNO Accessibility API.</p> |
| |
| <p>The main window is roughly divided into three areas: |
| <ul> |
| <li>The <a href="#treeview">tree view</a> on the left shows a part of the |
| accessibility tree of one or more StarOffice/OpenOffice applications.</li> |
| <li>The <a href="#graphicalview">graphical view</a> on the right side shows |
| a graphical representation of the accessibility objects in the tree. To |
| make objects missing in the graphical view visible expand the corresponding |
| nodes in the tree view.</li> |
| |
| <li>The text window at the bottom logs important messages.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2><a name="treeview">Tree View</a></h2> |
| <p>The tree view has a top-level node for every open |
| document window of StarOffice/OpenOffice. Expand those nodes to make them |
| visible in the <a href="#graphicalview">graphical view</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Nodes</h3> |
| <p>The nodes in the tree view belong to different classes, some of which |
| have children others do not: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Accessible Object</b><br> |
| The node represents an accessible object and has corresponding shape in |
| the graphical view. Only this kind of node gets highlighted by clicking |
| on those shapes.</li> |
| <li><b>Simple Property</b><br> |
| These leaves represent simple properties of their parent nodes. Examples |
| are the position, size, and color of an accessible object.</li> |
| <li><b>Complex Properties</b><br> |
| These nodes have children that are not accessible objects. Examples are |
| the lists of interfaces or services supported by an accessible object.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Actions</h3> |
| <p>The tree view supports the following actions: |
| <ul><li>Left double click expands the node under the mouse pointer.</li> |
| <li>Right click shows a context menu. Entries, when supported, are: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Expand Shapes</b><br> |
| Expands all nodes in the sub-tree that lie on a path from the root to a shape.</li> |
| <li><b>Expand Subtree</b><br> |
| Expands all nodes in the sub-tree.</li> |
| <li><b>Select...</b><br> |
| Show a dialog that gives access to the XAccessibleSelection interface.</li> |
| <li><b>select...</b>, <b>copy...</b>, <b>cut...</b>, <b>paste...</b>, |
| <b>edit...</b>, <b>format...</b><br> |
| Show dialogs that give access to the XAccessibleText and |
| XAccessibleEditableText interfaces. |
| </ul></li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2><a name="graphicalview">Graphical View</a></h2> |
| <p>The graphical view shows several properties of accessibility objects: |
| <ul> |
| <li>The bounding box is represented as a rectangle.</li> |
| <li>The background color of the accessible object is taken to draw the |
| bounding box rectangle.</li> |
| <li>The foreground color is used to fill the bounding box.</li> |
| <li>The accessible name is shown when the menu checkbox Options->Show Name |
| is check.</li> |
| <li>The accessible description is shown when the menu checkbox Options->Show |
| Descriptons is checked.</li> |
| <li>If the XAccessibleText interface is supported and the menu checkbox |
| Options->Show Text is checked then the text of the accessible object is |
| shown.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Actions</h3> |
| <p>The graphical view supports three the following actions: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Left click (no modifiers) highlights the object under the mouse as well |
| as the corresponding node in the tree view.</li> |
| <li>Left click with Control modifier expands the object under the |
| mouse.</li> |
| <li>Mouse motion with Shift modifier highlights the object under the mouse |
| as well as the corresponding node in the tree view.</li> |
| </ul> |
