Hello,
The description for NSAccessibilitySharedTextUIElementsAttribute
is "The elements with which the text of this element is shared."
Would you happen to have an example
of a situation when this would be used?
Essentially this allows for text to 'flow' between multiple UI elements - where the underlying text is shared by multiple UI elements in the interface.
You can see this in action in TextEdit. If you switch to Wrap To Page in the Layout menu. Make sure you have text long enough to fill at least two pages. You'll notice that there are multiple text views, one per page, but the text flows between them.
The NSAccessibilitySharedCharacterRangeAttribute indicates the range of text that is present in that particular AXTextArea.
