## Detailed Description

The ATK interface provided by UI components which occupy a physical area on the screen.

This should be implemented by most if not all UI elements with an actual on-screen presence, i.e. components which can be said to have a screen-coordinate bounding box. Virtually all widgets will need to have Atk::Component implementations provided for their corresponding Atk::Object class. In short, only UI elements which are* not* GUI elements will omit this ATK interface.

A possible exception might be textual information with a transparent background, in which case text glyph bounding box information is provided by Atk::Text.

## Member Function Documentation

guint Atk::Component::add_focus_handler | ( | AtkFocusHandler | handler ) |

Add the specified handler to the set of functions to be called when this object receives focus events (in or out).

If the handler is already added it is not added again

Parameters:

  handler | The Atk::FocusHandler to be attached to component.

Returns:
  A handler id which can be used in atk_component_remove_focus_handler or zero if the handler was already added.

bool Atk::Component::contains | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  | const

Checks whether the specified point is within the extent of the component.

Parameters:

  x | X coordinate.
  y | Y coordinate.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

Returns:
  `true` or `false` indicating whether the specified point is within the extent of the component or not.

Glib::RefPtr<Atk::Object> Atk::Component::get_accessible_at_point | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  |

Gets a reference to the accessible child, if one exists, at the coordinate point specified by x and y.

Parameters:

  x | X coordinate.
  y | Y coordinate.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

Returns:
  A reference to the accessible child, if one exists.

void Atk::Component::get_extents | ( | int & | x,
|  | int & | y,
|  | int & | width,
|  | int & | height,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  | const

Gets the rectangle which gives the extent of the component.

Parameters:

  x | Address of `int` to put x coordinate.
  y | Address of `int` to put y coordinate.
  width | Address of `int` to put width.
  height | Address of `int` to put height.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

Layer Atk::Component::get_layer | ( | ) | const

Gets the layer of the component.

Returns:
  An Atk::Layer which is the layer of the component.

int Atk::Component::get_mdi_zorder | ( | ) | const

Gets the zorder of the component.

The value G_MININT will be returned if the layer of the component is not ATK_LAYER_MDI or ATK_LAYER_WINDOW.

Returns:
  A `int` which is the zorder of the component, i.e. the depth at which the component is shown in relation to other components in the same container.

void Atk::Component::get_position | ( | int & | x,
|  | int & | y,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  | const

Gets the position of component in the form of a point specifying component's top-left corner.

Parameters:

  x | Address of `int` to put x coordinate position.
  y | Address of `int` to put y coordinate position.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

void Atk::Component::get_size | ( | int & | width,
|  | int & | height
| ) |  | const

Gets the size of the component in terms of width and height.

Parameters:

  width | Address of `int` to put width of component.
  height | Address of `int` to put height of component.

bool Atk::Component::grab_focus | ( | ) |

Grabs focus for this component.

Returns:
  `true` if successful, `false` otherwise.

void Atk::Component::remove_focus_handler | ( | guint | handler_id ) |

Remove the handler specified by handler_id from the list of functions to be executed when this object receives focus events (in or out).

Parameters:

  handler_id | The handler id of the focus handler to be removed from component.

bool Atk::Component::set_extents | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  |

Sets the extents of component.

Parameters:

  x | X coordinate.
  y | Y coordinate.
  width | Width to set for component.
  height | Height to set for component.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

Returns:
  `true` or `false` whether the extents were set or not.

bool Atk::Component::set_position | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | CoordType | coord_type
| ) |  |

Sets the postition of component.

Parameters:

  x | X coordinate.
  y | Y coordinate.
  coord_type | Specifies whether the coordinates are relative to the screen or to the components top level window.

Returns:
  `true` or `false` whether or not the position was set or not.

bool Atk::Component::set_size | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height

Set the size of the component in terms of width and height.

Parameters:

  width | Width to set for component.
  height | Height to set for component.

Returns:
  `true` or `false` whether the size was set or not.
