Function Details [hide private]

getFocusObject()

source code 

Gets the current object with focus.

Returns: NVDAObjects.NVDAObject
the object with focus

getForegroundObject()

source code 

Gets the current foreground object.

Returns: NVDAObjects.NVDAObject
the current foreground object

setForegroundObject(obj)

source code 

Stores the given object as the current foreground object. (Note: it does not physically change the operating system foreground window, but only allows NVDA to keep track of what it is).

Parameters:
  • obj (NVDAObjects.NVDAObject) - the object that will be stored as the current foreground object

setFocusObject(obj)

source code 

Stores an object as the current focus object. (Note: this does not physically change the window with focus in the operating system, but allows NVDA to keep track of the correct object). Before overriding the last object, this function calls event_loseFocus on the object to notify it that it is loosing focus.

Parameters:
  • obj (NVDAObjects.NVDAObject) - the object that will be stored as the focus object

getReviewPosition()

source code 

Retreaves the current TextInfo instance representing the user's review position. If it is not set, it uses the user's set navigator object and creates a TextInfo from that.

setReviewPosition(reviewPosition)

source code 

Sets a TextInfo instance as the review position. It sets the current navigator object to None so that the next time the navigator object is asked for it fetches it from the review position.

getNavigatorObject()

source code 

Gets the current navigator object. Navigator objects can be used to navigate around the operating system (with the number pad) with out moving the focus. If the navigator object is not set, it fetches it from the review position.

Returns: NVDAObjects.NVDAObject
the current navigator object

setNavigatorObject(obj)

source code 

Sets an object to be the current navigator object. Navigator objects can be used to navigate around the operating system (with the number pad) with out moving the focus. It also sets the current review position to None so that next time the review position is asked for, it is created from the navigator object.

Parameters:
  • obj (NVDAObjects.NVDAObject) - the object that will be set as the current navigator object

isTypingProtected()

source code 

Checks to see if key echo should be suppressed because the focus is currently on an object that has its protected state set.

Returns: boolean
True if it should be suppressed, False otherwise.

copyToClip(text)

source code 

Copies the given text to the windows clipboard.

Parameters:
  • text (string) - the text which will be copied to the clipboard
Returns: boolean
True if it succeeds, False otherwise.

getClipData()

source code 

Receives text from the windows clipboard.

Returns: string
Clipboard text

getStatusBar()

source code 

Obtain the status bar for the current foreground object.

Returns: NVDAObjects.NVDAObject
The status bar object or None if no status bar was found.

getStatusBarText(obj)

source code 

Get the text from a status bar. This includes the name of the status bar and the names and values of all of its children.

Parameters:
Returns: str
The status bar text.
