package javax.accessibility;

The AccessibleExtendedComponent interface should be supported by any object that is rendered on the screen. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to determine the extended graphical representation of an object. Applications can determine if an object supports the AccessibleExtendedComponent interface by first obtaining its AccessibleContext and then calling the AccessibleContext.getAccessibleComponent method. If the return value is not null and the type of the return value is AccessibleExtendedComponent, the object supports this interface.
