* This adapter class provides default implementations for the
* methods described by the AccessibleControlListener interface.
*
* Classes that wish to deal with AccessibleControlEvents can
* extend this class and override only the methods that they are
* interested in.
*
* Note: Accessibility clients use child identifiers to specify
* whether they want information about a control or one of its children.
* Child identifiers are increasing integers beginning with 0.
* The identifier CHILDID_SELF represents the control itself.
* When returning a child identifier to a client, you may use CHILDID_NONE
* to indicate that no child or control has the required information.
*
* Note: This adapter is typically used by implementors of
* a custom control to provide very detailed information about
* the control instance to accessibility clients.
