Automation using Java Access Bridge

Question

I can capture text from UI controls (button/Editbox/Checkbox etc) in Java Applications, using Java Access Bridge events. How can I:

1. Set text in a Editbox

Answer 1

I would subclass the AccessibleContext of your GUI component and provide it with an accessibleAction object. Make AccessibleContext.getAccessibleAction() return your object.

If it's not null, it gives the screen reader a list of supported actions, that can be invoked - by the screen reader - by calling doAction on it.
