Hi List. I recently started a little project which I think might be of interest to people on this list. As you probably know, GNOME is providing a interface for Assistive Technology software, like Screen readers. This interface is exposed via IDL definitions (CORBA), and a C library. Since I do not particularily like the typical Edit-Compile-Run cycle of a typical compiled language like C, I decided to try and write bindings for said libraries for Guile, the GNU Scheme interpreter. Using this little program, one can poke around in the AT-SPI interactively. Here are some examples: fzidpc73:/tmp# ./spi Guile AT-SPI Version 0.0.2 gspi> (spi-init) 0 gspi> (applications) (#<Accessible 0x80e63e8, name="gnome-session", role=application> #<Accessible 0x80e6270, name="nautilus", role=application> #<Accessible 0x80e60f8, name="gnome-panel", role=application> #<Accessible 0x80e5a30, name="mixer_applet2", role=application>) gspi> (define nautilus (cadr (applications))) gspi> (children nautilus) (#<Accessible 0x80e6e40, name="Desktop", role=frame>) gspi> (find nautilus focused?) (#<Accessible 0x80fcab0, name="Start Here", role=unknown>) gspi> (define focus (car (find nautilus focused?))) gspi> (next-child focus) #<Accessible 0x80fc938, name="root's Home", role=unknown> gspi> (previous-child focus) #f gspi> (children (parent focus)) (#<Accessible 0x80fcab0, name="Start Here", role=unknown> #<Accessible 0x80fc938, name="root's Home", role=unknown> #<Accessible 0x80fc7c0, name="Trash", role=unknown> #<Accessible 0x80fc660, name="Start Here", role=unknown>) ... You can get the latest tarball of gspi from http://delysid.org/gspi.html Comments are welcome, of course. -- CYa, Mario _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
