Class Accessible

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.swt.accessibility.Accessible

public class Accessible
extends java.lang.Object

Instances of this class provide a bridge between application code and assistive technology clients. Many platforms provide default accessible behavior for most widgets, and this class allows that default behavior to be overridden. Applications can get the default Accessible object for a control by sending it getAccessible, and then add an accessible listener to override simple items like the name and help string, or they can add an accessible control listener to override complex items. As a rule of thumb, an application would only want to use the accessible control listener to implement accessibility for a custom control.

1.4
