Warning: get_text_at_offset is deprecated.

Gets the specified text.

Note:

This method is deprecated since ATK version 2.9.4.

Please use get_string_at_offset instead.

If the boundary_type if ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CHAR the character at the offset is returned.

If the boundary_type is ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_START the returned string is from the word start at or before the offset to the word start after the offset.

The returned string will contain the word at the offset if the offset is inside a word and will contain the word before the offset if the offset is not inside a word.

The returned string will contain the sentence at the offset if the offset is inside a sentence and will contain the sentence before the offset if the offset is not inside a sentence.
