href="qaccessibletextinterface.html">QAccessibleTextInterface</a> class implements support for text handling.</p> <p>This interface corresponds to the IAccessibleText interface. It should be implemented for widgets that display more text than a plain label. Labels should be represented by only <a href="qaccessibleinterface.html">QAccessibleInterface</a> and return their text as name (<a href="qaccessibleinterface.html#text">QAccessibleInterface::text</a>() with <a href="qaccessible.html#Text-enum">QAccessible::Name</a> as type). The <a href="qaccessibletextinterface.html">QAccessibleTextInterface</a> is typically for text that a screen reader might want to read line by line, and for widgets that support text selection and input. This interface is, for example, implemented for <a href="../qtwidgets/qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Accessibility/IAccessible2">IAccessible2 Specification</a></p> </div> <!-- @@@QAccessibleTextInterface --> <div class="func"> <h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <!-- $$$~QAccessibleTextInterface[overload1]$$$~QAccessibleTextInterface --> <h3 class="fn" id="dtor.QAccessibleTextInterface"><a name="dtor.QAccessibleTextInterface"></a><code>[virtual] </code>QAccessibleTextInterface::<span class="name">~QAccessibleTextInterface</span>()</h3> <p>Destroys the <a href="qaccessibletextinterface.html">QAccessibleTextInterface</a>.</p> <!-- @@@~QAccessibleTextInterface --> <!-- $$$addSelection[overload1]$$$addSelectionintint --> <h3 class="fn" id="addSelection"><a name="addSelection"></a><code>[pure virtual] </code><span class="type">void</span> QAccessibleTextInterface::<span class="name">addSelection</span>(<span class="type">int</span> <i>startOffset</i>, <span class="type">int</span> <i>endOffset</i>)</h3> <p>Select the text from <i>startOffset</i> to <i>endOffset</i>.
