141 * always have ATK_ROLE_FORM. @Since: ATK-1.12.0
142 *@ATK_ROLE_LINK: The object is a hypertext anchor, i.e. a "link" in a
143 * hypertext document. Such objects are distinct from 'inline'

146 * an inline or embedded object lies. @Since: ATK-1.12.1
147 *@ATK_ROLE_INPUT_METHOD_WINDOW: The object is a window or similar viewport

157 *@ATK_ROLE_COMMENT: An object found within a document and designed to present a comment, note, or other annotation. In some cases, this object might not be visible until activated. @Since: ATK-2.1.0
158 *@ATK_ROLE_LIST_BOX: A non-collapsible list of choices the user can select from. @Since: ATK-2.1.0
159 *@ATK_ROLE_GROUPING: A group of related widgets. This group typically has a label. @Since: ATK-2.1.0
160 *@ATK_ROLE_IMAGE_MAP: An image map object. Usually a graphic with multiple hotspots, where each hotspot can be activated resulting in the loading of another document or section of a document. @Since: ATK-2.1.0

174 * ATK-2.12
175 *@ATK_ROLE_LANDMARK: A region of a web page intended as a
176 * navigational landmark. This is designed to allow Assistive
177 * Technologies to provide quick navigation among key regions within a
178 * document. @Since: ATK-2.12
179 *@ATK_ROLE_LOG: A text widget or container holding log content, such
180 * as chat history and error logs. In this role there is a
181 * relationship between the arrival of new items in the log and the
182 * reading order. The log contains a meaningful sequence and new
183 * information is added only to the end of the log, not at arbitrary
184 * points. @Since: ATK-2.12
185 *@ATK_ROLE_MARQUEE: A container where non-essential information
186 * changes frequently. Common usages of marquee include stock tickers
187 * and ad banners. The primary difference between a marquee and a log
188 * is that logs usually have a meaningful order or sequence of
189 * important content changes. @Since: ATK-2.12
190 *@ATK_ROLE_MATH: A text widget or container that holds a mathematical
191 * expression. @Since: ATK-2.12
192 *@ATK_ROLE_RATING: A widget whose purpose is to display a rating,
193 * such as the number of stars associated with a song in a media
194 * player. Objects of this role should also implement
195 * AtkValue. @Since: ATK-2.12
196 *@ATK_ROLE_TIMER: An object containing a numerical counter which
197 * indicates an amount of elapsed time from a start point, or the time
198 * remaining until an end point. @Since: ATK-2.12
199 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_LIST: An object that represents a list of
200 * term-value groups. A term-value group represents a individual
201 * description and consist of one or more names
202 * (ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM) followed by one or more values
203 * (ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE). For each list, there should not be
204 * more than one group with the same term name. @Since: ATK-2.12
205 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM: An object that represents the term, or
206 * name, part of a term-description group in a description
207 * list. @Since: ATK-2.12
208 *@ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE: An object that represents the
209 * description, definition or value of a term-description group in a
210 * description list. The values within a group are alternatives,
211 * meaning that you can have several ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE for a
212 * given ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM. @Since: ATK-2.12
213 *@ATK_ROLE_STATIC: A generic non-container object whose purpose is to display a
214 * brief amount of information to the user and whose role is known by the
215 * implementor but lacks semantic value for the user. Examples in which
216 * ATK_ROLE_STATIC is appropriate include the message displayed in a message box
217 * and an image used as an alternative means to display text. ATK_ROLE_STATIC
218 * should not be applied to widgets which are traditionally interactive, objects
219 * which display a significant amount of content, or any object which has an
220 * accessible relation pointing to another object. Implementors should expose the
221 * displayed information through the accessible name of the object. If doing so seems
222 * inappropriate, it may indicate that a different role should be used. For
223 * labels which describe another widget, see ATK_ROLE_LABEL. For text views, see
224 * ATK_ROLE_TEXT. For generic containers, see ATK_ROLE_PANEL. For objects whose
225 * role is not known by the implementor, see ATK_ROLE_UNKNOWN. @Since: ATK-2.16.
226 *@ATK_ROLE_LAST_DEFINED: not a valid role, used for finding end of the enumeration
228 * Describes the role of an object
230 * These are the built-in enumerated roles that UI components can have in
231 * ATK. Other roles may be added at runtime, so an AtkRole >=
232 * ATK_ROLE_LAST_DEFINED is not necessarily an error.
