Description: Reference for Atk.Selection

### Interface

# AtkSelection

#### Description [src]

    interface Atk.Selection : GObject.Object

The ATK interface implemented by container objects whose `AtkObject` children can be selected.

`AtkSelection` should be implemented by UI components with children which are exposed by #atk_object_ref_child and

# atk_object_get_n_children, if the use of the parent UI component

ordinarily involves selection of one or more of the objects corresponding to those `AtkObject` children - for example, selectable lists.

Note that other types of “selection” (for instance text selection) are accomplished a other ATK interfaces - `AtkSelection` is limited to the selection/deselection of children.

#### Prerequisite

In order to implement Selection, your type must inherit from`GObject`.

#### Implementations

- AtkNoOpObject

#### Instance methods

###### atk_selection_add_selection

Adds the specified accessible child of the object to the object’s selection.

###### atk_selection_clear_selection

Clears the selection in the object so that no children in the object are selected.

###### atk_selection_get_selection_count

Gets the number of accessible children currently selected. Note: callers should not rely on `NULL` or on a zero value for indication of whether AtkSelectionIface is implemented, they should use type checking/interface checking macros or the `atk_get_accessible_value()` convenience method.

###### atk_selection_is_child_selected

Determines if the current child of this object is selected Note: callers should not rely on `NULL` or on a zero value for indication of whether AtkSelectionIface is implemented, they should use type checking/interface checking macros or the `atk_get_accessible_value()` convenience method.

###### atk_selection_ref_selection

Gets a reference to the accessible object representing the specified selected child of the object. Note: callers should not rely on `NULL` or on a zero value for indication of whether AtkSelectionIface is implemented, they should use type checking/interface checking macros or the `atk_get_accessible_value()` convenience method.

###### atk_selection_remove_selection

Removes the specified child of the object from the object’s selection.

###### atk_selection_select_all_selection

Causes every child of the object to be selected if the object supports multiple selections.

#### Signals

###### Atk.Selection::selection-changed

The “selection-changed” signal is emitted by an object which implements AtkSelection interface when the selection changes.
