# Enum Class AccessibleAction

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<AccessibleAction>
javafx.scene.AccessibleAction

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Comparable<AccessibleAction>, Constable`

public enum AccessibleAction extends Enum<AccessibleAction>
This enum describes the actions that an assistive technology such as a screen reader can request from the scene graph. The `AccessibleRole` dictates the set of actions that the screen reader will request for a particular control. For example, a push button normally fires an event to indicate that it was pressed in response to the FIRE action.

An action may have any number of parameters, depending on the particular action.

  - ### BLOCK_DECREMENT

    public static final AccessibleAction BLOCK_DECREMENT
    Request that the node be decremented by a large value. A smaller decrement is requested using `DECREMENT`.

    Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

  - ### BLOCK_INCREMENT

    public static final AccessibleAction BLOCK_INCREMENT
    Request that the node be incremented by a large value. A smaller increment is requested using `INCREMENT`.

    Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

  - ### COLLAPSE

    public static final AccessibleAction COLLAPSE
    Request that the node should become collapsed.

    Used by TreeItem, TitledPane, and others

  - ### DECREMENT

    public static final AccessibleAction DECREMENT
    Request that the node be decremented by a small value. A larger decrement is requested using `BLOCK_DECREMENT`.

    Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

  - ### EXPAND

    public static final AccessibleAction EXPAND
    Request that the node should become expanded.

    Used by TreeItem, TitledPane, and others

  - ### FIRE

    public static final AccessibleAction FIRE
    Fires the primary action for the node. For example, a push button will normally send an action event to notify listeners that is has been activated.

    Used by Button, Hyperlink, and others

  - ### INCREMENT

    public static final AccessibleAction INCREMENT
    Request that the node be incremented by a small value. A larger increment is requested using `BLOCK_INCREMENT`.

    Used by Slider, ScrollBar, and others

  - ### REQUEST_FOCUS

    public static final AccessibleAction REQUEST_FOCUS
    Request that the node take focus. By default, a node will request focus using `Node.requestFocus()`. Both JavaFX and the assistive technology have the concept of a focus node and most of the time, they are the same. In some cases, a control might want the JavaFX focus to remain on the parent, while the assistive technology focus is on the child. For example, a table may respond to this request by setting focus to a cell inside the table before allowing the default to run.

    Used by Node, TabItem, TableCell and others

  - ### SHOW_ITEM

    public static final AccessibleAction SHOW_ITEM
    Request the node to show an item, scrolling if required.

    Used by ListView, TreeView, and others

    Parameters:
    - `Node` the item to show

  - ### SHOW_TEXT_RANGE

    Parameters:
    - `Integer` the start offset
    - `Integer` the end offset

  - ### SET_SELECTED_ITEMS

    public static final AccessibleAction SET_SELECTED_ITEMS
    Request the node to set the selection to a list of items.
