interface XAccessibleHyperlink
Base Hierarchy
::com::sun::star::uno::XInterface
 |
 +-XAccessibleAction
    |
    +-XAccessibleHyperlink
Description
Implement this interface to represent a hyperlink or a group of hyperlinks.

Single hyperlinks correspond to simple <a href> tags. Groups of hyperlinks are contained in client side image maps. Linked objects and anchors are implementation dependent. This interface inherits the XAccessibleAction interface. Especially that interface's XAccessibleAction::getActionCount method is needed to obtain a maximum value for the indices passed to the getAccessibleActionAnchor and getAccessibleActionObject methods.

Furhtermore, the object that implements this interface has to be connected implicitely or explicitely with an object that implements the the XAccessibleText interface. The getStartIndex and getEndIndex methods return indices with respect to the text exposed by that interface.


Methods' Summary
getAccessibleActionAnchor Returns an object that represents the link anchor, as appropriate for that link.
getAccessibleActionObject Returns an object that represents the link anchor, as appropriate for that link.
getStartIndex Returns the index at which the textual representation of the hyperlink (group) starts.
getEndIndex Returns the index at which the textual rerpesentation of the hyperlink (group) ends.
isValid Returns whether the document referenced by this links is still valid.
Methods' Details
getAccessibleActionAnchor
any
getAccessibleActionAnchor(
 
[in] long 

raises(

 
nIndex ) 
::com::sun::star::lang::IndexOutOfBoundsException );

Description
Returns an object that represents the link anchor, as appropriate for that link.

For an HTML link for example, this method would return the string enclosed by the <&a href> tag.

Parameter nIndex
This index identifies the anchor when, as in the case of an image map, there is more than one link represented by this object. The valid maximal index can be determinded by calling the XAccessibleAction::getActionCount method.
Returns
If the index is not valid then an exception is thrown. Otherwise it returns an implementation dependent value.
getAccessibleActionObject
any
getAccessibleActionObject(
 
[in] long 

raises(

 
nIndex ) 
::com::sun::star::lang::IndexOutOfBoundsException );

Description
Returns an object that represents the link anchor, as appropriate for that link.

For an HTML link for example, this method would return the URL of the <&a href> tag.

Parameter nIndex
This index identifies the action object when, as in the case of an image map, there is more than one link represented by this object. The valid maximal index can be determinded by calling the XAccessibleAction::getActionCount method.
Returns
If the index is not valid then an exception is thrown. Otherwise it returns an implementation dependent value.
getStartIndex
long
getStartIndex();
 
 

Description
Returns the index at which the textual representation of the hyperlink (group) starts.

The returned value relates to the XAccessibleText interface of the AccessibleHypertext service that ownes this hyperlink.

Returns
The index relates to the text exposed by the ::XAccessibleHyperText interface.
getEndIndex
long
getEndIndex();
 
 

Description
Returns the index at which the textual rerpesentation of the hyperlink (group) ends.

The returned value relates to the XAccessibleText interface of the AccessibleHypertext service that ownes this hyperlink.

Returns
The index relates to the text exposed by the XAccessibleText interface.
isValid
boolean
isValid();
 
 

Description
Returns whether the document referenced by this links is still valid.

This is a volatile state that may change without further warning like e.g. sending an appropriate event.

Returns
Returns true if the referenced document is still valid and false otherwise.
