Enum Class AccessibleAction

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<AccessibleAction>

javafx.scene.AccessibleAction

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<AccessibleAction>, Constable

public enum AccessibleAction extends Enum<AccessibleAction>

This enum describes the actions that an assistive technology such as a screen reader can request from the scene graph. The AccessibleRole dictates the set of actions that the screen reader will request for a particular control. For example, a push button normally fires an event to indicate that it was pressed in response to the FIRE action.

An action may have any number of parameters, depending on the particular action.

Enum Constant Details

BLOCK_DECREMENT

public static final AccessibleAction BLOCK_DECREMENT

Request that the node be decremented by a large value. A smaller decrement is requested using DECREMENT.

Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

BLOCK_INCREMENT

public static final AccessibleAction BLOCK_INCREMENT

Request that the node be incremented by a large value. A smaller increment is requested using INCREMENT.

Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

COLLAPSE

public static final AccessibleAction COLLAPSE

Request that the node should become collapsed.

Used by TreeItem, TitledPane, and others

DECREMENT

public static final AccessibleAction DECREMENT

Request that the node be decremented by a small value. A larger decrement is requested using BLOCK_DECREMENT.

Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

EXPAND

public static final AccessibleAction EXPAND

Request that the node should become expanded.

Used by TreeItem, TitledPane, and others

FIRE

public static final AccessibleAction FIRE

Fires the primary action for the node. For example, a push button will normally send an action event to notify listeners that is has been activated.

Used by Button, Hyperlink, and others

INCREMENT

public static final AccessibleAction INCREMENT

Request that the node be incremented by a small value. A larger increment is requested using BLOCK_INCREMENT.

Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

REQUEST_FOCUS

public static final AccessibleAction REQUEST_FOCUS

Request that the node take focus. By default, a node will request focus using Node.requestFocus(). Both JavaFX and the assisteve technology have the concept of a focus node and most of the time, they are the same. In some cases, a control might want the JavaFX focus to remain on the parent, while the assistive technology focus is on the child. For example, a table may respond to this request by setting focus to a cell inside the table before allowing the default to run.

Used by Node, TabItem, TableCell and others

public static final AccessibleAction SHOW_ITEM

Request the node to show an item, scrolling if required.

Used by ListView, TreeView, and others

Parameters:

Node the item to show

SHOW_TEXT_RANGE

Used by Node, Menu
