TextBaseAccImpl

Package | spark.accessibility
Class | public class TextBaseAccImpl
Inheritance | TextBaseAccImpl AccImpl flash.accessibility.AccessibilityImplementation

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

TextBaseAccImpl is the accessibility implementation class for spark.components.TextBase.

When a Spark Label or RichText component is created, its `accessibilityImplementation` property is set to an instance of this class. The Flash Player then uses this class to allow MSAA clients such as screen readers to see and manipulate the Label or RichText component. See the mx.accessibility.AccImpl and flash.accessibility.AccessibilityImplementation classes for background information about accessibility implementation classes and MSAA.

Children

A TextBase has no MSAA children.

Role

The MSAA Role of a TextBase is ROLE_SYSTEM_STATICTEXT.

Name

The MSAA Name of a TextBase is, by default, the text that it displays. When wrapped in a FormItem, this text will be combined with the FormItem's label. To override this behavior, set the component's `accessibilityName` property.

When the Name changes, a TextBase dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE.

Description

The MSAA Description of a TextBase is, by default, the empty string, but you can set the TextBase's `accessibilityDescription` property.

State

The MSAA State of a TextBase is a combination of:

- STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE (when enabled is false)
- STATE_SYSTEM_READONLY

When the State changes, a TextBase dispatches the MSAA event EVENT_OBJECT_STATECHANGE.

Value

A TextBase does not have an MSAA Value.

Location

The MSAA Location of a TextBase is its bounding rectangle.

Default Action

A TextBase does not have an MSAA DefaultAction.

Focus

A TextBase does not accept focus.

Selection

A TextBase does not support selection in the MSAA sense.

Other

MSAA documentation suggests that the `accessibilityShortcut` should be set to the shortcut keystroke for any associated input component. Since the shortcut is an accessibility property and not implementable by an AccessibilityImplementation it is not addressed in TextBaseAccImpl.

Constructor Detail

TextBaseAccImpl | () | Constructor

`public function TextBaseAccImpl(master:UIComponent)`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructor.

Parameters

| `master:UIComponent` — The UIComponent instance that this AccImpl instance is making accessible.

Method Detail

enableAccessibility | () | method

`public static function enableAccessibility():void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Enables accessibility in the TextBase class.

This method is called by application startup code that is autogenerated by the MXML compiler. Afterwards, when instances of TextBase are initialized, their `accessibilityImplementation` property will be set to an instance of this class.
