Capturing scenarios
A capturing scenario is a set of rules that define how to process various window controls or HTML tags.
There are four groups of rules, for every type of application:
-
for Win32 window controls;
-
for accessible objects;
-
for HTML tags;
-
for Java Swing controls.
An "accessible object" is a user interface (UI) element that exposes its properties and actions to assistive technologies, allowing software like screen readers to interact with and understand it. This exposure is done through a platform-specific accessibility API, enabling developers to add information such as an object's name, location, and purpose (e.g., using ARIA roles) to enhance usability for people with disabilities.

Except Win32 controls, each group includes two sections:
-
Filters that define the processing order for controls or tags and for their child elements.
-
Naming rules that specify how to name controls depending on their properties.
Each scenario has pre-defined rules that define what objects must be recognized first:
-
Java Swing controls;
-
HTML tags;
-
Accessible objects;
-
Win32 controls.
