Hello,
what is the difference between AXWindow and AXTopLevelUIElement? The docs say:
AXWindow - UIElement for the containing window
AXTopLevelUIElement - A UI element’s containing window, sheet, or drawer.
To really understand what they mean, an example of how VoiceOver behavior would be affected in a situation when they differ would be most helpful in my opinion.
I found an example of differing AXWindow and AXTopLevelUIElement e.g. in Pages.app - if you open a Styles drawer (Shift-Cmd-T), then everything in the styles drawer has AXTopLevelUIElement set to the drawer and AXWindow set to the Pages window. How does this influence VoiceOver behavior?
Thanks and best regards,
