Class Overview

The AccessibleEditableText interface should be implemented by all classes that present editable textual information on the display. Along with the AccessibleText interface, this interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes, and spatial location. Applications can determine if an object supports the AccessibleEditableText interface by first obtaining its AccessibleContext (see Accessible) and then calling the getAccessibleEditableText() method of AccessibleContext. If the return value is not null, the object supports this interface.
