Class AccessibleState

public class AccessibleState extends AccessibleBundle

A state portion of an accessible object. A combination of states represent the entire object state, in an AccessibleStateSet. For example, this could be "active" or "selected". This strongly typed "enumeration" supports localized strings. If the constants of this class are not adequate, new ones may be added in a similar matter, while avoiding a public constructor.

Field Detail

ACTIVE

public static final AccessibleState ACTIVE

Indicates an active window, as well as an active child in a list or other collection.

ARMED

public static final AccessibleState ARMED

Indicates an armed object, usually a button which has been pushed and the mouse has not left the button area.

BUSY

public static final AccessibleState BUSY

Indicates an object is busy, such as a slider, scroll bar, or progress bar in transition.

CHECKED

public static final AccessibleState CHECKED

Indicates an object is checked.

COLLAPSED

public static final AccessibleState COLLAPSED

Indicates that the object is collapsed, usually in a tree.

EDITABLE

public static final AccessibleState EDITABLE

Indicates the user can edit the component contents. This is usually for text, as other objects like scroll bars are automatically editable.

ENABLED

public static final AccessibleState ENABLED

Indicates that an object is enabled. In the absence of this state, graphics are often grayed out, and cannot be manipulated.

EXPANDABLE

public static final AccessibleState EXPANDABLE

Indicates the object allows progressive disclosure of its children, usually in a collapsible tree or other hierachical object.

EXPANDED

public static final AccessibleState EXPANDED

Indicates that the object is expanded, usually in a tree.

FOCUSABLE

public static final AccessibleState FOCUSABLE

Indicates that an object can accept focus, which means it will process keyboard events when focused.

FOCUSED

public static final AccessibleState FOCUSED

Indicates that an object has keyboard focus.

HORIZONTAL

public static final AccessibleState HORIZONTAL

Indicates that an object has horizontal orientation.

ICONIFIED

public static final AccessibleState ICONIFIED

Indicates that an object is minimized to an icon.

INDETERMINATE

public static final AccessibleState INDETERMINATE

Indicates that the state of this particular object is indeterminate. This commonly occurs when an object is incapable of representing the state by a single value.

Since: 1.5

MANAGES_DESCENDANTS

public static final AccessibleState MANAGES_DESCENDANTS

Indicates that this particular object manages a number of subcomponents. This is a common property of structures such as trees and tables, which have a number of sub-elements such as rows and columns. The subcomponents should be left to the object, and not managed by the application.

Since: 1.5

MODAL

public static final AccessibleState MODAL

Indicates that something must be done in the current object before interaction is allowed on other windows, usually for dialogs.

MULTISELECTABLE

public static final AccessibleState MULTISELECTABLE

Indicates that multiple children can be selected at once.

MULTI_LINE

public static final AccessibleState MULTI_LINE

Indicates that this text object can hold multiple lines.

OPAQUE

public static final AccessibleState OPAQUE

Indicates that all pixels in the object are painted. If this state is not present, then the object has some degree of transparency, letting lower panes show through.

PRESSED

public static final AccessibleState PRESSED

Indicates a pushed button, usually when the mouse has been pressed but not released.

RESIZABLE

public static final AccessibleState RESIZABLE

Indicates the size of this object is not fixed.

SELECTABLE

public static final AccessibleState SELECTABLE

Indicates that this child is one which can be selected from its parent.

SELECTED

public static final AccessibleState SELECTED

Indicates that this child has been selected from its parent.

SHOWING

public static final AccessibleState SHOWING

Indicates that this object and all its parents are visible, so that it is on the screen. However, something opaque may be on top of it.

SINGLE_LINE

public static final AccessibleState SINGLE_LINE

Indicates that this text object can only hold a single line.

TRANSIENT

public static final AccessibleState TRANSIENT

Indicates that this object is transient. This means the object is generated for method queries, but will never generate events, because its container (such as a tree, list, or table) does all the work.

TRUNCATED

public static final AccessibleState TRUNCATED

Indicates that this particular object is truncated when displayed visually.

Since: 1.5

VERTICAL

public static final AccessibleState VERTICAL

Indicates that an object has vertical orientation.

Parameters: key the name of the state
