QAccessibilityClient

This library is used when writing accessibility clients such as screen readers. It comes with some examples demonstrating the API. These small helpers may be useful when testing accessibility. One of them writes all accessibiliy interfaces an application provides as text output. The other, more advanced application shows a tree of objects and allows some interaction and exploration.

Coding style: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Frameworks_Coding_Style Generally this library follows https://community.kde.org/Policies/Library_Code_Policy

Be aware that it is in an early stage of development right now so no compatibility is guaranteered.

All public API is in: src/qaccessibilityclient

The abstraction of DBus and related at-spi tools should go into src/atspi but not exported.

You can generate documentation (see docs folder README).

Using CMake with QAccessibilityClient

Use:

find_package(QAccessibilityClient)
set_package_properties(QAccessibilityClient PROPERTIES
    DESCRIPTION "Client-side accessibility library for Qt"
    URL "https://commits.kde.org/libqaccessibilityclient"
    TYPE REQUIRED
    PURPOSE "Required to enable accessibility features."
)
 
target_link_libraries(targetname qaccessibilityclient)

In your code #include <qaccessibilityclient/accessibleobject.h> etc.

Creating releases

There are no translations for QAccessibilityClient since the library does not contain any strings that should be shown to users. The examples are not translated, that could potentially be considered. Follow https://community.kde.org/ReleasingSoftware, skip the translation parts.
