Hello I noticed that LibreOffice supports assistive technology (AT) and that in order for LibreOffice to expose its information it must detect the presence of AT. I am developing dictation software and need to know the text and caret position in a document. Through IAccessible2 this is possible but I do not know how to let LibreOffice know that my AT is active. I have looked through your wiki and found this page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility/Accessibility-dev where it explains what I just said. It does not explain how LibreOffice detects AT. Specifically, I'm trying to do this (copied from a post I made on your forum<https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/192867/detecting-assistive-technology-on-windows/>): I'm trying to use IAccessible2<https://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/>, specifically caretOffset<https://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/interface_i_accessible_text.html#ab02c838409659f949a3ca02620ffd77a> to gain the caret position in relation to the text surrounding it. Using various inspection tools (aViewer<https://developer.paciellogroup.com/resources/aviewer/> and AccProbe<https://github.com/IBMa/AccProbe>) i have been unable to gain anything from LibreOffice. I am suspecting that this is due to LibreOffice not thinking the aforementioned tools are "AT". Which leads me back to my question of how I am supposed to let LibreOffice know when an "AT" is in use. For instance, I know that Chrome does the following: Chrome calls NotifyWinEvent with EVENT_SYSTEM_ALERT and the custom object id of 1. If it subsequently receives a WM_GETOBJECT call for that custom object id, it assumes that AT is running.
