protected abstract class AbstractButton.AccessibleAbstractButton
extends JComponent.AccessibleJComponent
implements AccessibleAction, AccessibleValue, AccessibleText

This class implements accessibility support for the AbstractButton class. It provides an implementation of the Java Accessibility API appropriate to button and menu item user-interface elements.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Perform the specified Action on the object
Specified by:
doAccessibleAction in interface AccessibleAction
Parameters:
i - zero-based index of actions
Returns:
true if the the action was performed; else false.

getCurrentAccessibleValue

public Number getCurrentAccessibleValue()
