The CheckBoxAccImpl class, also called the CheckBox Accessibility Implementation class, is used to make a CheckBox component accessible. This class enables communication between a CheckBox component and a screen reader. Screen readers are used to translate screen content into synthesized speech or braille for visually impaired users.

The CheckBoxAccImpl class supports system roles, object-based events, and states.

A CheckBox reports the role ROLE_SYSTEM_CHECKBUTTON (0x2C) to a screen reader.

A CheckBox reports the following states to a screen reader:

STATE_SYSTEM_NORMAL (0x00000000)
STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE (0x00000001)
STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED (0x00000004)
STATE_SYSTEM_PRESSED (0x00000008)
STATE_SYSTEM_CHECKED (0x00000010)
STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE (0x00100000)

A CheckBox dispatches the following events to a screen reader:

EVENT_OBJECT_STATECHANGE (0x800A)
EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE (0x800C)

Screen reader users can activate a Checkbox component with the spacebar or the Enter key.
