This method gets called when a bound property is changed.

e	A PropertyChangeEvent object describing the event source and the property that has changed. Must not be null.
Throws	NullPointerException: if the parameter is null.

Invoked when the target of the listener has changed its state.

e	a ChangeEvent object. Must not be null.
Throws	NullPointerException: if the parameter is null.

Returns the specified Accessible child of the object. The Accessible children of an Accessible object are zero-based, so the first child of an Accessible child is at index 0, the second child is at index 1, and so on.

i	zero-based index of child
return	the Accessible child of the object
See also	getAccessibleChildrenCount

Returns the number of accessible children of the object.

return

the number of accessible children of the object.

Gets the AccessibleComponent associated with this object that has a graphical representation.

return	AccessibleComponent if supported by object; else return null
See also	javax.accessibility.AccessibleComponent

Gets the accessibleDescription property of this object. The accessibleDescription property of this object is a short localized phrase describing the purpose of the object. For example, in the case of a 'Cancel' button, the accessibleDescription could be 'Ignore changes and close dialog box.'

return	the localized description of the object; null if this object does not have a description
See also	setAccessibleDescription

Gets the 0-based index of this object in its accessible parent.

return	the 0-based index of this object in its parent; -1 if this object does not have an accessible parent.
See also	getAccessibleParent, getAccessibleChildrenCount, getAccessibleChild

Gets the accessibleName property of this object. The accessibleName property of an object is a localized String that designates the purpose of the object. For example, the accessibleName property of a label or button might be the text of the label or button itself. In the case of an object that doesn't display its name, the accessibleName should still be set. For example, in the case of a text field used to enter the name of a city, the accessibleName for the en_US locale could be 'city.'

return	the localized name of the object; null if this object does not have a name
See also	setAccessibleName

Gets the Accessible parent of this object.

return

the Accessible parent of this object; null if this object does not have an Accessible parent

Gets the role of this object. The role of the object is the generic purpose or use of the class of this object. For example, the role of a push button is AccessibleRole.PUSH_BUTTON. The roles in AccessibleRole are provided so component developers can pick from a set of predefined roles. This enables assistive technologies to provide a consistent interface to various tweaked subclasses of components (e.g., use AccessibleRole.PUSH_BUTTON for all components that act like a push button) as well as distinguish between sublasses that behave differently (e.g., AccessibleRole.CHECK_BOX for check boxes and AccessibleRole.RADIO_BUTTON for radio buttons).

Note that the AccessibleRole class is also extensible, so custom component developers can define their own AccessibleRole's if the set of predefined roles is inadequate.

return	an instance of AccessibleRole describing the role of the object
See also	javax.accessibility.AccessibleRole

Gets the state set of this object. The AccessibleStateSet of an object is composed of a set of unique AccessibleStates. A change in the AccessibleStateSet of an object will cause a PropertyChangeEvent to be fired for the ACCESSIBLE_STATE_PROPERTY property.

return	an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object
See also	javax.accessibility.AccessibleStateSet, javax.accessibility.AccessibleState, addPropertyChangeListener

Gets the AccessibleText associated with this object presenting text on the display.

return	AccessibleText if supported by object; else return null
See also	javax.accessibility.AccessibleText

Gets the AccessibleValue associated with this object that supports a Numerical value.

return	AccessibleValue if supported by object; else return null
See also	javax.accessibility.AccessibleValue

Returns the String after a given index.

part	the CHARACTER, WORD, or SENTENCE to retrieve
index	an index within the text
return	the letter, word, or sentence

Returns the String at a given index.

part	the CHARACTER, WORD, or SENTENCE to retrieve
index	an index within the text
return	the letter, word, or sentence

Returns the String before a given index.

part	the CHARACTER, WORD, or SENTENCE to retrieve
index	an index within the text
return	the letter, word, or sentence

Returns the zero-based offset of the caret. Note: That to the right of the caret will have the same index value as the offset (the caret is between two characters).

return

the zero-based offset of the caret.

Returns the AttributeSet for a given character at a given index

i	the zero-based index into the text
return	the AttributeSet of the character

Determines the bounding box of the character at the given index into the string. The bounds are returned in local coordinates. If the index is invalid an empty rectangle is returned.

i	the index into the String
return	the screen coordinates of the character's bounding box, if index is invalid return an empty rectangle.

Returns the number of characters (valid indicies)

return

the number of characters

Given a point in local coordinates, return the zero-based index of the character under that Point. If the point is invalid, this method returns -1.

p	the Point in local coordinates
return	the zero-based index of the character under Point p; if Point is invalid return -1.

Gets the locale of the component. If the component does not have a locale, then the locale of its parent is returned.

return	this component's locale. If this component does not have a locale, the locale of its parent is returned.
Throws	IllegalComponentStateException: If the Component does not have its own locale and has not yet been added to a containment hierarchy such that the locale can be determined from the containing parent.

Returns the portion of the text that is selected.

return

the String portion of the text that is selected

Returns the end offset within the selected text. If there is no selection, but there is a caret, the start and end offsets will be the same.

return

the index into teh text of the end of the selection

Returns the start offset within the selected text. If there is no selection, but there is a caret, the start and end offsets will be the same.

return

the index into the text of the start of the selection
