Examples

The following example shows how to retrieve the properties supported by an AutomationElement.

AutomationProperty[] properties = element.GetSupportedProperties();
foreach (AutomationProperty prop in properties)
{
    Console.WriteLine(prop.ProgrammaticName);
    Console.WriteLine(Automation.PropertyName(prop));
}

Dim properties As AutomationProperty() = element.GetSupportedProperties()
Dim prop As AutomationProperty
For Each prop In properties
    Console.WriteLine(prop.ProgrammaticName)
    Console.WriteLine(Automation.PropertyName(prop))
Next prop

Remarks

The returned array identifies all the properties supported by this element; however, it can also contain duplicate entries or properties that contain null or empty values. For most purposes it is better to use GetCurrentPropertyValue to determine whether a property is currently supported and to get its current value.
