[g-a-devel]Accessibility for Gdk widgets in Pager Applet [workspace switcher]

[Rajkumar Sivasamy <rajkumar siva wipro com>]

Hi,
Am looking at pager applet in terms of accessibility. (Desk Guide applet
is rewritten as pager applet in gnome-panel/applets/gen_util). The UI
widgets of this applet are part of the library "libwnck", the library
makes use of Gdk widgets to draw the applet's "workspace icon" (the base
gdk rectangle representing a workspace) and the "workspace content icon"
(the gdk rectangle corresponding to a particular component in a
workspace). 

Workspaces can be switched from one to another by clicking on the
corresponding "workspace icon" of the applet. In terms of accessibility
I guess AtkAction interface has to be implemented for the "workspace
icon" which inturn is a Gdk Rectangle.


The pager structure inturn has three GtkWidgets:
a) GtkWidget *applet,
b) GtkWidget *frame,
c) GtkWidget *pager.
This Gtk pager widget is burried to Gtk frame, which inturn is
encapsulated to Gtk applet. I could able to set up tooltip for this Gtk
applet widget, which will be displayed when the mouse scrolls over this
Applet.


But am not sure of how to go ahead in implementing Atk interfaces for
these gdk widgets (Gdk Rectangle). For which widget the get_accessible
method has to be implemented? 


The ferret o/p shows:
Applet's Accessible Type as GailContainer and 
Parent Accessible Type as GailBox.

Pls, mail back u'r comments on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Raj.
