[Windows] Provide MSAA mappings for more WebCore data types

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brent Fulgham]

Several of the WebCore elements exposed through our accessibility layer default to ROLE_SYSTEM_CLIENT, even though there are more specific roles defined in the MSAA documentation (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd373608(v=vs.85).aspx).

This patch adds mappings for a number of WebCore types that were not previously being handled.

do you think we might want to assert or remove the default here. That way someone can take an intelligent look at MSAA roles and choose the right one when new Web roles are added

Archive of layout-test-results from webkit-ews-12 for mac-mountainlion-wk2

The attached test failures were seen while running run-webkit-tests on the mac-wk2-ews.

Clearly the Mac EWS failure has nothing to do with these changes to Windows-platform specific files.

That makes a lot of sense, but I don't think all Web roles are currently covered by the Windows (or Mac) mappings. If we were to add an ASSERT here, I would prefer to make sure we currently map all Web roles to accessibility types so that we start from a known good state.
