Field Detail

accessibleAWTComponentHandler

protected ComponentListener accessibleAWTComponentHandler

protected FocusListener accessibleAWTFocusHandler

Constructor Detail

Component.AccessibleAWTComponent

protected Component.AccessibleAWTComponent()

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

Method Detail

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list.

Overrides:

[addPropertyChangeListener](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#addPropertyChangeListener%28java.beans.PropertyChangeListener%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

Parameters:

listener - the property change listener to be added

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](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#removePropertyChangeListener%28java.beans.PropertyChangeListener%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

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](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleName%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

Returns:

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

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](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleDescription%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

Returns:

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

getAccessibleRole

public AccessibleRole getAccessibleRole()

Gets the role of this object.

Specified by:

[getAccessibleRole](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleRole%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

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](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleStateSet%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

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](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleParent%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

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.

Specified by:

[getAccessibleIndexInParent](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleIndexInParent%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")

Returns:

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

See Also:

getAccessibleParent()

getAccessibleChildrenCount

public int getAccessibleChildrenCount()

Returns the number of accessible children in the object. If all of the children of this object implement Accessible, then this method should return the number of children of this object.

Specified by:

[getAccessibleChildrenCount](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleChildrenCount%28%29) in class [AccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/AccessibleContext.html "class in javax.accessibility")
