# Interface AccessibleIcon

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `ImageIcon.AccessibleImageIcon`

public interface AccessibleIcon
The `AccessibleIcon` interface should be supported by any object that has an associated icon (e.g., buttons). This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to get descriptive information about icons. Applications can determine if an object supports the `AccessibleIcon` interface by first obtaining its `AccessibleContext` (see `Accessible`) and then calling the `AccessibleContext.getAccessibleIcon()` method. If the return value is not `null`, the object supports this interface.
