AccessibleKeySet* SPI_createAccessibleKeySet (int len, const char *keysyms, short *keycodes, const char **keystrings);
Create a new AccessibleKeySet of a specified length. A KeySet is used typically to match key event values, and a matches are made using the following criteria: a match exists with a key event if all non-null i-th members of the keyset match the key event. If both keystring and keysym values are NULL, a keycode value match is forced, thus the match for keysym=0, keycode=0, keystring=NULL is keycode 0.

SPIBoolean SPI_registerGlobalEventListener (AccessibleEventListener *listener, const char *eventType);
Legal object event types:

object:property-change object:property-change:accessible-name object:property-change:accessible-description object:property-change:accessible-parent object:property-change:accessible-value object:property-change:accessible-role object:property-change:accessible-table-caption object:property-change:accessible-table-column-description object:property-change:accessible-table-column-header object:property-change:accessible-table-row-description object:property-change:accessible-table-row-header object:property-change:accessible-table-summary
(other object events)
object:state-changed object:children-changed object:visible-data-changed object:selection-changed object:text-selection-changed object:text-changed object:text-caret-moved object:row-inserted object:row-reordered object:row-deleted object:column-inserted object:column-reordered object:column-deleted object:model-changed object:active-descendant-changed

window:minimize window:maximize window:restore window:close window:create window:reparent window:desktop-create window:desktop-destroy window:activate window:deactivate window:raise window:lower window:move window:resize window:shade window:unshade window:restyle
(other events)
focus: mouse:abs mouse:rel mouse:b1p mouse:b1r mouse:b2p mouse:b2r mouse:b3p mouse:b3r
NOTE: this string may be UTF-8, but should not contain byte value 56 (ascii ':'), except as a delimiter, since non-UTF-8 string delimiting functions are used internally. In general, listening to toolkit-specific events is not recommended.
Add an in-process callback function to an existing AccessibleEventListener.
listener : | the AccessibleEventListener to be registered against an event type. |
eventType : | a character string indicating the type of events for which notification is requested. Format is EventClass:major_type:minor_type:detail where all subfields other than EventClass are optional. EventClasses include "object", "window", "mouse", and toolkit events (e.g. "Gtk", "AWT"). Examples: "focus:", "Gtk:GtkWidget:button_press_event". |
Returns : | TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE. |
SPIBoolean SPI_deregisterGlobalEventListener (AccessibleEventListener *listener, const char *eventType);

SPIBoolean SPI_registerAccessibleKeystrokeListener (AccessibleKeystrokeListener *listener, AccessibleKeySet *keys, AccessibleKeyMaskType modmask, AccessibleKeyEventMask eventmask, AccessibleKeyListenerSyncType sync_type);
Register a listener for keystroke events, either pre-emptively for all windows (CSPI_KEYLISTENER_ALL_WINDOWS), or non-preemptively (CSPI_KEYLISTENER_NOSYNC). ( Other sync_type values may be available in the future.)
listener : | a pointer to the AccessibleKeystrokeListener for which keystroke events are requested. |
keys : | a pointer to the AccessibleKeySet indicating which keystroke events are requested, or CSPI_KEYSET_ALL_KEYS to indicate that all keycodes and keyvals for the specified modifier set are to be included. |
modmask : | an AccessibleKeyMaskType mask indicating which key event modifiers must be set in combination with keys, events will only be reported for key events for which all modifiers in modmask are set. If you wish to listen for events with multiple modifier combinations you must call registerAccessibleKeystrokeListener() once for each combination. |
eventmask : | an AccessibleKeyMaskType mask indicating which types of key events are requested (SPI_KEY_PRESSED, etc.). |
sync_type : | a AccessibleKeyListenerSyncType parameter indicating the behavior of the notification/listener transaction. |
Returns : | TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE. |
SPIBoolean SPI_deregisterAccessibleKeystrokeListener (AccessibleKeystrokeListener *listener, AccessibleKeyMaskType modmask);
Removes a keystroke event listener from the registry's listener queue, ceasing notification of events with modifiers matching modmask.

keyval : | a long integer indicating the keycode or keysym of the key event being synthesized. |
keystring : | an (optional) UTF-8 string which, if keyval is NULL, indicates a 'composed' keyboard input string which is being synthesized; this type of keyboard event synthesis does not emulate hardware keypresses but injects the string as though a composing input method (such as XIM) were used. |
synth_type : | a AccessibleKeySynthType flag indicating whether keyval is to be interpreted as a keysym rather than a keycode (CSPI_KEYSYM), or whether to synthesize SPI_KEY_PRESS, SPI_KEY_RELEASE, or both (SPI_KEY_PRESSRELEASE). |
