Object Navigation Properties and Methods

Clients navigate from one object to another using methods such as IAccessible::accNavigate and IAccessible::accHitTest. These methods allow clients to retrieve either a child ID or the address of another object's IAccessible interface. Navigation allows clients to explore how objects are related to each other. Note that navigating to another object does not change the selection or focus.

The IAccessible interface provides properties and methods that support the following kinds of navigation:

• Hierarchical Navigation
• Spatial and Logical Navigation
• Navigation Through Hit Testing and Screen Location
