Accessible objects maintain several pieces of information, called "properties," that help describe the object's appearance, nature, and purpose. The IAccessible interface extends methods allowing an application to retrieve these properties. The application can examine the properties, determine what is valuable to the user, and convey information to the user as needed.
This section discusses the properties in detail, providing a conceptual overview for each. The following topics are covered.
You can access each property from C/C++ or Visual Basic® applications. These descriptions examine the properties from a C/C++ perspective.
