- * actions. Any object that can be manipulated should support this
- * interface. Applications can determine if an object supports the
- * AccessibleAction interface by first obtaining its AccessibleContext (see
- * <a href="java.awt.accessibility.Accessible.html">Accessible</a>) and
- * then calling the
- * <a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleContext.html#getAccessibleAction">
- * getAccessibleAction</a> method of AccessibleContext. If the return
- * value is not null, the object supports this interface.
