The
AccessibleHypertext
class is the base class for all classes that present hypertext information on the display. This class provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes, and spatial location. It also provides standard mechanisms for manipulating hyperlinks. Applications can determine if an object supports the
AccessibleHypertext
interface by first obtaining its
AccessibleContext
(see
Accessible
) and then calling the
AccessibleContext.getAccessibleText()
method of
AccessibleContext
. If the return value is a class which extends
AccessibleHypertext
, then that object supports
AccessibleHypertext
.
