17 * This adapter class provides default implementations for the
18 * methods described by the <code>AccessibleTextListener</code> interface.

20 * Classes that wish to deal with <code>AccessibleTextEvent</code>s can
21 * extend this class and override only the methods that they are
22 * interested in.

24 * Note: Accessibility clients use child identifiers to specify
25 * whether they want information about a control or one of its children.
26 * Child identifiers are increasing integers beginning with 0.
27 * The identifier CHILDID_SELF represents the control itself.
28 * When returning a child identifier to a client, you may use CHILDID_NONE
29 * to indicate that no child or control has the required information.
30 * </p><p>
31 * Note: This adapter is typically used by implementors of
32 * a custom control to provide very detailed information about
33 * the control instance to accessibility clients.
