Description

An AtkRelation describes a relation between an object and one or more other objects. The actual relations that an object has with other objects are defined as an AtkRelationSet, which is a set of AtkRelations.

Describes the type of the relation

ATK_RELATION_NULL

 Not used, represens "no relationship" or an error condition.

ATK_RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY

 Indicates an object controlled by one or more target objects.

ATK_RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR

 Indicates an object is an controller for one or more target objects.

ATK_RELATION_LABEL_FOR

 Indicates an object is a label for one or more target objects.

ATK_RELATION_LABELLED_BY

 Indicates an object is labelled by one or more target objects.

ATK_RELATION_MEMBER_OF

 Indicates an object is a member of a group of one or more target objects.

ATK_RELATION_NODE_CHILD_OF

 Indicates an object is a cell in a treetable which is displayed because a cell in the same column is expanded and identifies that cell.

ATK_RELATION_FLOWS_TO

 Indicates that the object has content that flows logically to another AtkObject in a sequential way, (for instance text-flow).

ATK_RELATION_FLOWS_FROM

 Indicates that the object has content that flows logically from another AtkObject in a sequential way, (for instance text-flow).

ATK_RELATION_SUBWINDOW_OF

 Indicates a subwindow attached to a component but otherwise has no connection in the UI heirarchy to that component.

ATK_RELATION_EMBEDS

 Indicates that the object visually embeds another object's content, i.e. this object's content flows around another's content.

ATK_RELATION_EMBEDDED_BY

 Inverse of ATK_RELATION_EMBEDS, indicates that this object's content is visualy embedded in another object.

ATK_RELATION_POPUP_FOR

 Indicates that an object is a popup for another object.

ATK_RELATION_PARENT_WINDOW_OF

 Indicates that an object is a parent window of another object.

ATK_RELATION_DESCRIBED_BY

 Indicates that another object provides descriptive information about this object; more verbose than ATK_RELATION_LABELLED_BY.

ATK_RELATION_DESCRIPTION_FOR

 Indicates that an object provides descriptive information about another object; more verbose than ATK_RELATION_LABEL_FOR.

ATK_RELATION_NODE_PARENT_OF

 Indicates an object is a cell in a treetable and is expanded to display other cells in the same column.

ATK_RELATION_LAST_DEFINED

 Not used, this value indicates the end of the enumeration.

atk_relation_type_register ()

AtkRelationType     atk_relation_type_register          (const gchar *name);

Associate name with a new AtkRelationType

name :

 a name string

Returns :

 an AtkRelationType associated with name

atk_relation_type_get_name ()

const gchar*        atk_relation_type_get_name          (AtkRelationType type);

Gets the description string describing the AtkRelationType type.

type :

AtkRelationType     atk_relation_type_for_name          (const gchar *name);

Get the AtkRelationType type corresponding to a relation name.

name :

 a string which is the (non-localized) name of an ATK relation type.

Returns :

 the AtkRelationType enumerated type corresponding to the specified name, or ATK_RELATION_NULL if no matching relation type is found.

atk_relation_new ()

AtkRelation*        atk_relation_new                    (AtkObject **targets,
                                                         gint n_targets,

targets :

 an array of pointers to AtkObjects

n_targets :

 number of AtkObjects pointed to by targets

relationship :

 an AtkRelationType with which to create the new AtkRelation

Returns :

 a pointer to a new AtkRelation

atk_relation_get_relation_type ()

AtkRelationType     atk_relation_get_relation_type      (AtkRelation *relation);
