\section{\class{wxAccessible}}\label{wxaccessible}

The wxAccessible class allows wxWidgets applications, and
wxWidgets itself, to return extended information about user interface elements
to client applications such as screen readers. This is the
main way in which wxWidgets implements accessibility features.

At present, only Microsoft Active Accessibility is supported
by this class.

To use this class, derive from wxAccessible, implement appropriate
functions, and associate an object of the class with a
window using \helpref{wxWindow::SetAccessible}{wxwindowsetaccessible}.

All functions return an indication of success, failure, or not implemented
using values of the wxAccStatus enum type.

If you return wxACC\_NOT\_IMPLEMENTED from any function, the system will try to
implement the appropriate functionality. However this will not work with
all functions.

Most functions work with an {\it object id}, which can be zero to refer to
'this' UI element, or greater than zero to refer to the nth child element.
This allows you to specify elements that don't have a corresponding wxWindow or
wxAccessible; for example, the sash of a splitter window.

For details on the semantics of functions and types, please refer to the
Microsoft Active Accessibility 1.2 documentation.

This class is compiled into wxWidgets only if the wxUSE\_ACCESSIBILITY setup
symbol is set to 1.

Functions return a wxAccStatus error code, which
may be one of the following:

{\small 
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum
{
    wxACC_FAIL,            // The function failed
    wxACC_FALSE,           // The function returned false
    wxACC_OK,              // The function completed successfully
    wxACC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, // The function is not implemented
    wxACC_NOT_SUPPORTED    // The function is not supported
} wxAccStatus
\end{verbatim}
}

Directions of navigation are represented by
the following:

{\small 
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum
{
    wxNAVDIR_DOWN,
    wxNAVDIR_FIRSTCHILD,
    wxNAVDIR_LASTCHILD,
    wxNAVDIR_LEFT,
    wxNAVDIR_NEXT,
    wxNAVDIR_PREVIOUS,
    wxNAVDIR_RIGHT,
    wxNAVDIR_UP
} wxNavDir
\end{verbatim}
}
