Animation Control (MSAA UI Element Reference)

  • Article

Animation controls silently display an audio video interleaved (AVI) clip. Animation controls are usually displayed when files are being copied or when some other time-consuming task is being performed.

The window class name for an animation control is ANIMATE_CLASS, which is defined as "SysAnimate32" in Commctrl.h.

Animation controls support the following IAccessible methods:

IAccessible Properties

Animation controls support the following IAccessible properties:

Property Comments
get_accChildCount The ChildCount property is zero.
get_accKeyboardShortcut Animation controls do not have keyboard shortcuts. However, if the label for the control contains an access key (an underlined character in the text of the control's label), get_accKeyboardShortcut returns a non-NULL string. This string contains the access key character appended to the string "Alt+". For example, if the label is "Downloading Files", KeyboardShortcut is "Alt+d".
get_accName The Name property is obtained from the static text control that labels the animation control. When creating controls, server developers must ensure that a static text control immediately precedes the control that it labels within the tab order.
get_accParent The Parent property is a window ( ROLE_SYSTEM_WINDOW ) that surrounds the control and has the same Name property and window class name as the control.
get_accRole The Role property is ROLE_SYSTEM_ANIMATION.
get_accState The State property is a combination of one or more of the following object state constants: STATE_SYSTEM_INVISIBLE | STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE | STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED | STATE_SYSTEM_ANIMATED
For more information, see Object State Constants.
