if the container itself is not currently active. In other words this would indicate
the item that will get focus if you tab to the container.
This information is important for knowing what to report for trees and potentially
other containers in a virtual buffer.

Used to indicate that the control is "pressed" and will be invoked when the
actuator, e.g. a mouse button, is "released". An AT which either monitors the
mouse or synthesizes mouse events might need to know that, and possibly a talking
interface would even let the user know about it. It could also potentially be
useful to on screen keyboards or test tools since the information does indicate
something about the state of the interface, for example, code operating asynchronously
might need to wait for the armed state to change before doing something else.

Note: Due to the fact that MSAA's WinEvents don't allow the active child index
to be passed on the IA2_EVENT_ACTIVE_DESCENDANT_CHANGED event, the manages
descendants scheme can't be used. Instead the active child object has to fire
MSAA's EVENT_OBJECT_FOCUS. In a future release a new event mechanism may be
added to provide for event specific data to be passed with the event. At that

An object has this state when its parent object has the state ::IA2_STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS.
For example, a list item object may be managed by its parent list object and may only
exist as long as the object is actually rendered. Similarly a table cell's accessible
object may exist only while the cell has focus. However, from the perspective of an
assistive technology a transient object behaves like a non-transient object. As a
result it is likely that this state is not of use to an assistive technology, but it
is provided in case an assistive technology determines that knowledge of the transient
nature of the object is useful and also for harmony with the Linux accessibility API.

The standard checkable objects are check boxes, radio buttons, check box menu
items, radio menu items, and toggle buttons. Since assistive technology will
determine that these objects are checkable via the object's role the checkable
state is not required. However, this state is necessary in those cases where
an object has a role which is not one of the previously mentioned roles. An
example is a table cell which indicates whether or not an email has an attachment,
whether or not an mail is considered spam, and whether or not an email has been read.
