379875 - Expose checkable object property

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

We may want to turn our internal CHECKABLE property into an object property "checkable"="true".

Do we need this? Or are the roles sufficient?
Checkable object                ATK role
Menu item                       ROLE_CHECK_MENU_ITEM or ROLE_RADIO_MENU_ITEM
List item                       ROLE_CHECK_BOX inside a ROLE_LIST?
Tree item                       ROLE_CHECK_BOX inside a tree? (Instead of ROLE_TABLE_CELL)

This is separate from the "cycles"="true" object property which David Bolter fixed in bug 368012.

Attachment: Not seeking r= for this. Too expensive to do it this way (requires getting state/extState extra time for every object). Better to do it only for some roles/classes like group attrs.

Attachment: We already have state in this part of the code, so use it to expose checkable there
