Re: Making an 'image' accessible?

[Ashutosh Sharma <ashusharma1980 yahoo co uk>]

Can/Should I create an accessible object for GtkImage
(say 'GtkImageAccessible'), assuming the image is
displayed as a GtkImage?
When you say 'this object will need to implement the
AtkText interface', how exactly do I do this? I've
unable to find any good documentation on implementing
an Atk interface. Right now, as suggested by Narayana,
I am going through the code for
gnome-media/gnome-cd/access/ which has AtkInterface
implemented.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ashutosh

will need to create an AtkObject corresponding to some
widget or object in your application. To get at the
text this object will need to implement the AtkText
interface.
