Client Guidelines

Client developers should use the following functionality to get information about the user interface elements:

• To get an IAccessible interface to objects, call AccessibleObjectFromWindow, AccessibleObjectFromPoint, or AccessibleObjectFromEvent.
• To examine and manipulate accessible objects, use the IAccessible properties and methods.
• To receive WinEvents, call SetWinEventHook to register a WinEvent callback function for those events that are relevant to the client application.
