Notes to Inheritors

The implementation of this method is typically to call the constructor of a specific AutomationPeer implementation, and return it as the return value.

All TextElement derived classes should implement this method in order to provide their own specific AutomationPeer implementations to the Silverlight infrastructure. For details on implementing this pattern, see AutomationPeer.
