Field Detail

accessibleAWTComponentHandler

protected ComponentListener accessibleAWTComponentHandler

accessibleAWTFocusHandler

protected FocusListener accessibleAWTFocusHandler

Component.AccessibleAWTComponent

protected Component.AccessibleAWTComponent()

Though the class is abstract, this should be called by all sub-classes.

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Add a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list.

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class AccessibleContext

Parameters:

listener - The PropertyChangeListener to be added

See Also:

AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_NAME_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_DESCRIPTION_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_STATE_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_VALUE_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_SELECTION_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_TEXT_PROPERTY, AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_VISIBLE_DATA_PROPERTY

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Remove a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list. This removes a PropertyChangeListener that was registered for all properties.

Overrides:

removePropertyChangeListener in class AccessibleContext

Parameters:

listener - The PropertyChangeListener to be removed

getAccessibleName

public String getAccessibleName()

Gets the accessible name of this object. This should almost never return java.awt.Component.getName(), as that generally isn't a localized name, and doesn't have meaning for the user. If the object is fundamentally a text object (e.g. a menu item), the accessible name should be the text of the object (e.g. "save"). If the object has a tooltip, the tooltip text may also be an appropriate String to return.

Overrides:

getAccessibleName in class AccessibleContext

Returns:

the localized name of the object -- can be null if this object does not have a name

See Also:

AccessibleContext.setAccessibleName(java.lang.String)

getAccessibleDescription

public String getAccessibleDescription()

Gets the accessible description of this object. This should be a concise, localized description of what this object is - what is its meaning to the user. If the object has a tooltip, the tooltip text may be an appropriate string to return, assuming it contains a concise description of the object (instead of just the name of the object - e.g. a "Save" icon on a toolbar that had "save" as the tooltip text shouldn't return the tooltip text as the description, but something like "Saves the current text document" instead).

Overrides:

getAccessibleDescription in class AccessibleContext

Returns:

the localized description of the object -- can be null if this object does not have a description

See Also:

AccessibleContext.setAccessibleDescription(java.lang.String)

getAccessibleRole

public AccessibleRole getAccessibleRole()

Gets the role of this object.

Specified by:

getAccessibleRole in class AccessibleContext

Returns:

an instance of AccessibleRole describing the role of the object

See Also:

AccessibleRole

getAccessibleStateSet

public AccessibleStateSet getAccessibleStateSet()

Gets the state of this object.

Specified by:

getAccessibleStateSet in class AccessibleContext

Returns:

an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object

See Also:

AccessibleState

getAccessibleParent

public Accessible getAccessibleParent()

Gets the Accessible parent of this object. If the parent of this object implements Accessible, this method should simply return getParent.

Overrides:

getAccessibleParent in class AccessibleContext

Returns:

the Accessible parent of this object -- can be null if this object does not have an Accessible parent

getAccessibleIndexInParent

public int getAccessibleIndexInParent()

Gets the index of this object in its accessible parent.

Returns:

the index of this object in its parent; or -1 if this object does not have an accessible parent

Returns:

the number of accessible children in the object

getAccessibleChild

public Accessible getAccessibleChild(int i)
