Constructor Detail

TextComponent.AccessibleAWTTextComponent

public TextComponent.AccessibleAWTTextComponent()
Constructs an AccessibleAWTTextComponent. Adds a listener to track caret change.

Method Detail

getAccessibleRole

public AccessibleRole getAccessibleRole()
Gets the role of this object.

Overrides:
getAccessibleRole in class Component.AccessibleAWTComponent
Returns:
an instance of AccessibleRole describing the role of the object (AccessibleRole.TEXT)

getAccessibleStateSet

public AccessibleStateSet getAccessibleStateSet()
Gets the state set of the TextComponent. 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 AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_STATE_PROPERTY property.

Overrides:
getAccessibleStateSet in class Component.AccessibleAWTComponent
Returns:
an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object

getAccessibleText

public AccessibleText getAccessibleText()
Get the AccessibleText associated with this object. In the implementation of the Java Accessibility API for this class, return this object, which is responsible for implementing the AccessibleText interface on behalf of itself.

Overrides:
getAccessibleText in class AccessibleContext
Returns:
this object

getAfterIndex

public String getAfterIndex(int part,
                            int index)
Returns the String after a given index.

Parameters:
part - the AccessibleText.CHARACTER, AccessibleText.WORD, or AccessibleText.SENTENCE to retrieve
index - an index within the text >= 0
Returns:
the letter, word, or sentence, null for an invalid index or part

getAtIndex

public String getAtIndex(int part,
                         int index)
Returns the String at a given index.

Parameters:
part - the AccessibleText.CHARACTER, AccessibleText.WORD, or AccessibleText.SENTENCE to retrieve
index - an index within the text >= 0
Returns:
the letter, word, or sentence, null for an invalid index or part

getBeforeIndex

public String getBeforeIndex(int part,
                             int index)
Returns the String before a given index.

Parameters:
part - the AccessibleText.CHARACTER, AccessibleText.WORD, or AccessibleText.SENTENCE to retrieve
index - an index within the text >= 0
Returns:
the letter, word, or sentence, null for an invalid index or part

getCaretPosition

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

Returns:
the zero-based offset of the caret.

getCharacterAttribute

public AttributeSet getCharacterAttribute(int i)
Returns the AttributeSet for a given character (at a given index).

Parameters:
i - the zero-based index into the text
Returns:
the AttributeSet of the character

getCharacterBounds

public Rectangle getCharacterBounds(int i)
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 a null rectangle is returned.

Parameters:
i - the index into the String >= 0
Returns:
the screen coordinates of the character's bounding box

getCharCount

public int getCharCount()
Returns the number of characters (valid indicies)

Returns:
the number of characters >= 0

getIndexAtPoint

public int getIndexAtPoint(Point p)
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.

Parameters:
p - the Point in local coordinates
Returns:
the zero-based index of the character under Point p.

getSelectedText

public String getSelectedText()
Returns the portion of the text that is selected.

Returns:
the text, null if no selection

getSelectionEnd

public int getSelectionEnd()
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 0 if the text is empty, or the caret position if no selection.

Returns:
the index into teh text of the end of the selection >= 0

getSelectionStart

public int getSelectionStart()
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 0 if the text is empty, or the caret position if no selection.

Returns:
the index into the text of the start of the selection >= 0

textValueChanged

public void textValueChanged(TextEvent textEvent)
TextListener notification of a text value change.

Parameters:
textEvent
