Interface com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessibleSelection

public interface AccessibleSelection
This AccessibleSelection interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine what the current selected children are, as well as modify the selection set. Any object that has children that can be selected should support this the AccessibleSelection interface. Applications can determine if an object supports the AccessibleSelection interface by first obtaining its AccessibleContext (see Accessible) and then calling the getAccessibleSelection method of AccessibleContext. If the return value is not null, the object supports this interface.

o addAccessibleSelection(int)
Adds the specified Accessible child of the object to the object's selection.
o clearAccessibleSelection()
Clears the selection in the object, so that no children in the object are selected.
o getAccessibleSelection(int)
Returns an Accessible representing the specified selected child in the object.
o getAccessibleSelectionCount()
Returns the number of Accessible children currently selected.
o isAccessibleChildSelected(int)
Determines if the current child of this object is selected.
o removeAccessibleSelection(int)
Removes the specified child of the object from the object's selection.
o selectAllAccessibleSelection()
Causes every child of the object to be selected if the object supports multiple selections.

Methods

o getAccessibleSelectionCount 
 public abstract int getAccessibleSelectionCount()
Returns the number of Accessible children currently selected. If no children are selected, the return value will be 0.

Returns:
the number of items currently selected.
o getAccessibleSelection 
 public abstract Accessible getAccessibleSelection(int i)
Returns an Accessible representing the specified selected child in the object. If there isn't a selection, or there are fewer children selected than the integer passed in, the return value will be null.

Note that the index represents the i-th selected child, which is different from the i-th child.

Parameters:
i - the zero-based index of selected children
Returns:
the i-th selected child

getAccessibleSelectionCount
o isAccessibleChildSelected 
 public abstract boolean isAccessibleChildSelected(int i)
Determines if the current child of this object is selected.

Parameters:
i - the zero-based index of the child in this Accessible object.
Returns:
true if the current child of this object is selected; else false.
See Also:
getAccessibleChild
o addAccessibleSelection 
 public abstract void addAccessibleSelection(int i)
Adds the specified Accessible child of the object to the object's selection. If the object supports multiple selections, the specified child is added to any existing selection, otherwise it replaces any existing selection in the object. If the specified child is already selected, this method has no effect.

Parameters:
i - the zero-based index of the child
See Also:
getAccessibleChild
o removeAccessibleSelection 
 public abstract void removeAccessibleSelection(int i)
Removes the specified child of the object from the object's selection. If the specified item isn't currently selected, this method has no effect.

Parameters:
i - the zero-based index of the child
See Also:
getAccessibleChild
o clearAccessibleSelection 
 public abstract void clearAccessibleSelection()
