<h1>Help for the AWB v1.7</h1>
<p>The AWB, or <em>A</em>ccessibility <em>W</em>ork <em>B</em>ench, is a tool
for testing the implementation UNO Accessibility API.</p>
<p>The main window is roughly divided into three areas:
<ul>
<li>The <a href="#treeview">tree view</a> on the left shows a part of the
accessibility tree of one or more StarOffice/OpenOffice applications.</li>
<li>The <a href="#graphicalview">graphical view</a> on the right side shows
a graphical representation of the accessibility objects in the tree. To
make objects missing in the graphical view visible expand the corresponding
nodes in the tree view.</li>
<li>The text window at the bottom logs important messages.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2><a name="treeview">Tree View</a></h2>
<p>The tree view has a top-level node for every open
document window of StarOffice/OpenOffice. Expand those nodes to make them
visible in the <a href="#graphicalview">graphical view</a>.</p>
<h3>Nodes</h3>
<p>The nodes in the tree view belong to different classes, some of which
have children others do not:
<ul>
<li><b>Accessible Object</b><br>
The node represents an accessible object and has corresponding shape in
the graphical view. Only this kind of node gets highlighted by clicking
on those shapes.</li>
<li><b>Simple Property</b><br>
These leaves represent simple properties of their parent nodes. Examples
are the position, size, and color of an accessible object.</li>
<li><b>Complex Properties</b><br>
These nodes have children that are not accessible objects. Examples are
the lists of interfaces or services supported by an accessible object.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h3>Actions</h3>
<p>The tree view supports the following actions:
<ul><li>Left double click expands the node under the mouse pointer.</li>
<li>Right click shows a context menu. Entries, when supported, are:
<ul>
<li><b>Expand Shapes</b><br>
Expands all nodes in the sub-tree that lie on a path from the root to a shape.</li>
<li><b>Expand Subtree</b><br>
Expands all nodes in the sub-tree.</li>
<li><b>Select...</b><br>
Show a dialog that gives access to the XAccessibleSelection interface.</li>
<li><b>select...</b>, <b>copy...</b>, <b>cut...</b>, <b>paste...</b>,
<b>edit...</b>, <b>format...</b><br>
Show dialogs that give access to the XAccessibleText and
XAccessibleEditableText interfaces.
</ul></li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2><a name="graphicalview">Graphical View</a></h2>
<p>The graphical view shows several properties of accessibility objects:
<ul>
<li>The bounding box is represented as a rectangle.</li>
<li>The background color of the accessible object is taken to draw the
bounding box rectangle.</li>
<li>The foreground color is used to fill the bounding box.</li>
<li>The accessible name is shown when the menu checkbox Options->Show Name
is check.</li>
<li>The accessible description is shown when the menu checkbox Options->Show
Descriptons is checked.</li>
<li>If the XAccessibleText interface is supported and the menu checkbox
Options->Show Text is checked then the text of the accessible object is
shown.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h3>Actions</h3>
<p>The graphical view supports three the following actions:
<ul>
<li>Left click (no modifiers) highlights the object under the mouse as well
as the corresponding node in the tree view.</li>
<li>Left click with Control modifier expands the object under the
mouse.</li>
<li>Mouse motion with Shift modifier highlights the object under the mouse
as well as the corresponding node in the tree view.</li>
</ul>
