75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * AccessibleContext represents the minimum information all accessible objects
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * return. This information includes the accessible name, description, role,
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * and state of the object, as well as information about its parent and
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * children. AccessibleContext also contains methods for
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * obtaining more specific accessibility information about a component.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * If the component supports them, these methods will return an object that
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * implements one or more of the following interfaces:
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * <li>{@link AccessibleAction} - the object can perform one or more actions.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * technology to determine what those actions are and tell the object
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * to perform them. Any object that can be manipulated should
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * support this interface.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * <li>{@link AccessibleComponent} - the object has a graphical representation.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * technology to determine and set the graphical representation of the
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * object. Any object that is rendered on the screen should support
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * this interface.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * <li>{@link AccessibleSelection} - the object allows its children to be
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * selected. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * assistive technology to determine the currently selected children of the object
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * as well as modify its selection set. Any object that has children
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * that can be selected should support this interface.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * <li>{@link AccessibleText} - the object presents editable textual information
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * on the display. This interface provides the standard mechanism for
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes,
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * and spatial location. Any object that contains editable text should
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * support this interface.
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * <li>{@link AccessibleValue} - the object supports a numerical value. This
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * to determine and set the current value of the object, as well as obtain its
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * minimum and maximum values. Any object that supports a numerical value
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * should support this interface.</ul>

75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * For example, if a component that supports the vertical and horizontal
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * states changes its orientation from vertical to horizontal, the old
75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * value will be AccessibleState.VERTICAL and the new value will be

75ce41a57ff334bd8fe2cb9ed51eea835892f944Ali Bahrami * and the new value will be null.
