Re: [g-a-devel] Accessibility in Google Chrome

Thank you for the reply.

I looked at the bug. What I can tell is that chromium hasn't the right
kind of support for atk (or at-spi, what I'm using). Would that
explain why the names and descriptions don't show up?

Also I forgot to mention that inspecting chromium with gtkparasite
yields the names of the widgets chormium has (including the URL bar).
How would I be able to get the same results?

Good day,

I've been trying to get the URL bar control from Google Chrome in order to get the URL text. So far I've managed to get the chrome window using at-spi and iterate through all the control hierarchy. I can see which one is the URL text as for every AccessibleEditableText control I simply print out the text (and identify which is link). The problem is that most of the chrome controls have a NULL name and description as provided by Accessible_getName and Accessible_getDescription. Thus, I have no apperent way to uniquely identify the URL bar from withing the program so I can programatically access the URL.

Does anybody, please, have any suggestions on this?
