Re: [g-a-devel] API deprecations?



Okay, we won't use it in Firefox then.

BTW from my test in GTK it's the same behavior as in Firefox.

So is armed after the mousedown on a button but before the mouse up?
I wonder what happens if you click and drag. In Gnome, Firefox and other apps I've seen, if you click-drag on a button it just focuses the button but does not activate it because the mouse up occurs somewhere else. There's no way to know ahead of time.

Incidentally, when a mouse down does occur on a button that's when focus happens. So watching mouse down via system events and focus events to buttons may be an alterative way to get the same information.
Not sure it is - in Java and, I think, gtk+, the behavior is different from what you describe for Firefox. Perhaps firefox buttons should never expose this state.

Hi Bill,

Thank you -- this helps IMO. Couple of questions:

* What is the potential use case for STATE_ARMED?
There are probably lots of them, though they might not be terribly common.

At present STATE_ARMED is the only way to know that a widget/button/thing is "pressed and will be invoked when the mouse button is released". An AT which either monitors the mouse or which synthesizes mouse events might need to know that, and possibly a talking interface would even let the user know about it. It could also potentially be useful to OSKs or test tools since the information does tell you something about the state of the interface; if you're doing things async you might need to wait for the state to change to/from ARMED before doing something else.
