    \class QAccessible qaccessible.h
    \brief The QAccessible class provides enums and static functions
    relating to accessibility.

    \ingroup misc

    Accessibility clients use implementations of the
    QAccessibleInterface to read the information an accessible object
    exposes, or to call functions to manipulate the accessible object.

\omit
    Qt provides implementations of the QAccessibleInterface for most
    widget classes in a plugin. This plugin is located in the \e
    accessibility subdirectory of the plugins installation directory.
    The default installation directory for plugins is \c INSTALL/plugins,
    where \c INSTALL is the directory where Qt was installed.  Calling
    queryAccessibleInterface( QObject *object, QAccessibleInterface
    **iface ) will ask all plugins located in this directory for an
    implementation that exposes the information for objects of the
    class of \e object.

    To make a Qt application accessible you have to distribute the
    accessibility plugin provded with Qt together with your
    application. Simply add the plugins created in
    INSTALL/plugins/accessibility to your distribution process. Use \l
    QApplication::addLibraryPath() to specify a plugin directory for
    your application, and copy the files into an \e accessibility
    subdirectory of one of those plugin directories. Qt's
    accessibility framework will load the plugins upon request and use
    the implementations provided to expose an object's accessibility
    information.
\endomit

    See the \link plugins-howto.html plugin documentation \endlink for
    more details about how to redistribute Qt plugins.

/*!
    \fn static void QAccessible::updateAccessibility( QObject *object, int control, Event reason )

    Notifies accessibility clients about a change in \a object's
    accessibility information.

    \a reason specifies the cause of the change, for example,
    ValueChange when the position of a slider has been changed. \a
    control is the ID of the child element that has changed. When \a
    control is 0, the object itself has changed.

    Call this function whenever the state of your accessible object or
    one of it's sub-elements has been changed either programmatically
    (e.g. by calling QLabel::setText()) or by user interaction.

    If there are no accessibility tools listening to this event, the
    performance penalty for calling this function is minor, but if determining
    the parameters of the call is expensive you can use isActive() to
    avoid unnecessary performance penalties if no client is listening.

    This function traverses to another object, or to a sub-element of

    navigate, and \a startControl specifies the start point of the
    navigation, which is either 0 if the navigation starts at the
    object itself, or an ID of one of the object's sub-elements.

    The function returns the ID of the sub-element located in the \a
    direction specified. If there is nothing in the navigated \a
    direction, this function returns -1.

    All objects support navigation.
*/

/*!
    \fn QString QAccessibleInterface::text( Text t, int control ) const

    Returns a string property \a t of the child object specified by \a
    control, or the string property of the object itself if \a control
    is 0.

    The \e Name is a string used by clients to identify, find or
    announce an accessible object for the user. All objects must have
    a name that is unique within their container.

    An accessible object's \e Description provides textual information
    about an object's visual appearance. The description is primarily
    used to provide greater context for low-vision or blind users, but
    is also used for context searching or other applications. Not all
    objects have a description. An "OK" button would not need a
    description, but a toolbutton that shows a picture of a smiley
    would.

    The \e Value of an accessible object represents visual information
    contained by the object, e.g. the text in a line edit. Usually,
    the value can be modified by the user. Not all objects have a
    value, e.g. static text labels don't, and some objects have a
    state that already is the value, e.g. toggle buttons.

    The \e Help text provides information about the function and
    usage of an accessible object. Not all objects provide this
    information.

    An accessible object's \e DefaultAction describes the object's
    primary method of manipulation, and should be a verb or a short
    phrase, e.g. "Press" for a button.

    The accelerator is a keyboard shortcut that activates the default
    action of the object. A keyboard shortcut is the underlined
    character in the text of a menu, menu item or control, and is
    either the character itself, or a combination of this character
    and a modifier key like ALT, CTRL or SHIFT. Command controls like
    tool buttons also have shortcut keys and usually display them in
    their tooltip.

    is set.

/*!
    \fn QAccessible::Role QAccessibleInterface::role( int control ) const

    Returns the role of the object if \a control is 0, or the role of

    is usually static. All accessible objects have a role.

*/

/*!
    \fn bool QAccessibleInterface::setSelected( int control, bool on, bool extend )

    Sets the selection of the child object with ID \a control to \a
    on. If \a extend is TRUE, all child elements between the focused
    item and the specified child object have their selection set to \a
    on.
