The ISimpleTextSelection class can be used to add support for the MSAA ISimpleTextSelection interface to an AccessibilityImplementation.

If an AccessibilityImplementation subclass implements the two getters in this class, a screen reader such as JAWS can determine the text selection range by calling them. The AccessibilityImplementation subclass does not have to formally declare that it implements this interface; you can simply declare getters for these two properties, as follows:

    class TextAreaAccImpl extends AccesibilityImplementation
    {
    ...
        public function get selectionAnchorIndex():int
        {
        ...
        }
        public function get selectionActiveIndex():int
        {
        ...
    }
    }
