29 * The AccessibleExtendedComponent interface should be supported by any object

33 * if an object supports the AccessibleExtendedComponent interface by first
34 * obtaining its AccessibleContext
35 * and then calling the
36 * {@link AccessibleContext#getAccessibleComponent} method.
37 * If the return value is not null and the type of the return value is
38 * AccessibleExtendedComponent, the object supports this interface.
