- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### TextComponent.AccessibleAWTTextComponent

          public TextComponent.AccessibleAWTTextComponent()

      Constructs an AccessibleAWTTextComponent. Adds a listener to track caret change.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### textValueChanged

          public void textValueChanged(TextEvent textEvent)

      TextListener notification of a text value change.
      Specified by:
        `textValueChanged` in interface `TextListener`

    - #### getAccessibleStateSet

          public AccessibleStateSet getAccessibleStateSet()

      Gets the state set of the TextComponent. The AccessibleStateSet of an object is composed of a set of unique AccessibleStates. A change in the AccessibleStateSet of an object will cause a PropertyChangeEvent to be fired for the AccessibleContext.ACCESSIBLE_STATE_PROPERTY property.
      Overrides:
        `getAccessibleStateSet` in class `Component.AccessibleAWTComponent`
      Returns:
        an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object
      See Also:
        `AccessibleStateSet`, `AccessibleState`, `Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener)`

    - #### getAccessibleRole

          public AccessibleRole getAccessibleRole()

      Gets the role of this object.
      Overrides:
        `getAccessibleRole` in class `Component.AccessibleAWTComponent`
      Returns:
        an instance of AccessibleRole describing the role of the object (AccessibleRole.TEXT)
      See Also:
        `AccessibleRole`

    - #### getAccessibleText

          public AccessibleText getAccessibleText()

      Get the AccessibleText associated with this object. In the implementation of the Java Accessibility API for this class, return this object, which is responsible for implementing the AccessibleText interface on behalf of itself.
      Overrides:
        `getAccessibleText` in class `AccessibleContext`
      Returns:
        this object
      See Also:
        `AccessibleText`

    - #### getIndexAtPoint

          public int getIndexAtPoint(Point p)

      Given a point in local coordinates, return the zero-based index of the character under that Point. If the point is invalid, this method returns -1.
      Specified by:
        `getIndexAtPoint` in interface `AccessibleText`
      Parameters:
        `p` - the Point in local coordinates
      Returns:
        the zero-based index of the character under Point p.

    - #### getCharacterBounds

          public Rectangle getCharacterBounds(int i)

      Determines the bounding box of the character at the given index into the string. The bounds are returned in local coordinates. If the index is invalid a null rectangle is returned.
      Specified by:
        `getCharacterBounds` in interface `AccessibleText`
      Parameters:
        `i` - the index into the String >= 0
      Returns:
        the screen coordinates of the character's bounding box

    - #### getCharCount

          public int getCharCount()

      Returns the number of characters (valid indicies)
      Specified by:
        `getCharCount` in interface `AccessibleText`
      Returns:
        the number of characters >= 0

    - #### getCaretPosition

          public int getCaretPosition()

      Returns the zero-based offset of the caret. Note: The character to the right of the caret will have the same index value as the offset (the caret is between two characters).
      Specified by:
        `getCaretPosition` in interface `AccessibleText`
      Returns:
        the zero-based offset of the caret.

    - #### getCharacterAttribute
