protected class JComboBox.AccessibleJComboBox extends JComponent.AccessibleJComponent implements AccessibleAction, AccessibleSelection
This class implements accessibility support for the `JComboBox` class. It provides an implementation of the Java Accessibility API appropriate to Combo Box user-interface elements.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

      - `AccessibleRole`

  - ### getAccessibleStateSet

    public AccessibleStateSet getAccessibleStateSet()
    Gets the state set of this object. The AccessibleStateSet of an object is composed of a set of unique AccessibleStates. A change in the AccessibleStateSet of an object will cause a PropertyChangeEvent to be fired for the ACCESSIBLE_STATE_PROPERTY property.
    Overrides:
      `getAccessibleStateSet` in class `JComponent.AccessibleJComponent`
    Returns:
      an instance of AccessibleStateSet containing the current state set of the object

      `getAccessibleAction` in class `AccessibleContext`
    Returns:
      this object
