/** @brief This interface gives read-only access to text.
The %IAccessibleText interface should be implemented by all components
that present textual information on the display like buttons,
text entry fields, or text portions of the document window. The interface
provides access to the text's content, attributes, and spatial location.
However, text can not be modified with this interface. That is the task
of the IAccessibleEditableText interface.
The text length, i.e. the number of characters in the text, is
returned by IAccessibleText::nCharacters. All methods that operate
on particular characters (e.g. IAccessibleText::textAtOffset) use character
indices from 0 to length-1. All methods that operate on character positions
(e.g. IAccessibleText::text) use indices from 0 to length.
Please note that accessible text does not necessarily support selection.
In this case it should behave as if there where no selection. An empty
selection is used for example to express the current cursor position.
Refer to @ref _specialOffsets
"Special Offsets for use in the IAccessibleText and IAccessibleEditableText Methods"
for information about special offsets that can be used in %IAccessibleText methods.
E_FAIL is returned in the following cases
@li endOffset < startOffset
@li endoffset > length

implemented as a tree of text objects with embed characters in higher levels
representing substrings of child text objects and the caret is in one of the
child text objects, then the offset in the higher level text object would be
at the embed character representing child text object that contains the caret.

with a top level text object containing an embed character "one ? three" and a
child text object containing "two" and if the caret is in the descendant object
just before the 'o' in "two", then:

/** @brief Returns the bounding box of the specified position.
The virtual character after the last character of the represented
text, i.e. the one at position length is a special case. It represents the
current input position and will therefore typically be queried by AT more
often than other positions. Because it does not represent an existing character
its bounding box is defined in relation to preceding characters. It should be
roughly equivalent to the bounding box of some character when inserted at the
end of the text. Its height typically being the maximal height of all the
characters in the text or the height of the preceding character, its width being
at least one pixel so that the bounding box is not degenerate.
Note that the index 'length' is not always valid. Whether it is or not is
implementation dependent. It typically is when text is editable or otherwise
when on the screen the caret can be placed behind the text. You can be sure
that the index is valid after you have received a ::IA2_EVENT_TEXT_CARET_MOVED
event for this index.
@param [in] offset

is 0..length. Refer to @ref _specialOffsets

Returns the 0-based starting and ending offsets of the Nth selection. If the
text is implemented as a tree of text objects with embed characters in higher
levels representing substrings of child text objects, consider the following.
If the starting selection offset is in one of the child text objects, then the
starting offset in the higher level text object would be at the embed character
representing the child text object that contains the starting selection offset.
If the ending selection offset is in one of the child text objects, then the
ending offset in the higher level text object would be just after the embed
character representing the child text object that contains the ending selection
offset.
For example, if the string "one two three" is implemented as a two text objects,
with a top level text object containing an embed character "one ? three" and a
child text object containing "two" and if the selection is the string "two" then:
<ul>
