Field Details

accessibleAWTComponentHandler

protected ComponentListener accessibleAWTComponentHandler

A component listener to track show/hide/resize events and convert them to PropertyChange events.

accessibleAWTFocusHandler

protected FocusListener accessibleAWTFocusHandler

A listener to track focus events and convert them to PropertyChange events.

Constructor Details

AccessibleAWTComponent

protected AccessibleAWTComponent()

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

Method Details

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list.

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class AccessibleContext

Parameters:

listener - the property change listener to be added

See Also:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

getAccessibleIndexInParent

public int getAccessibleIndexInParent()
