ContentElement Methods

.NET Framework 3.0

	Name	Description
	AddHandler	Overloaded. Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element.
	AddToEventRoute	Adds handlers to the specified EventRoute for the current ContentElement event handler collection.
	ApplyAnimationClock	Overloaded. Applies an animation to a specified dependency property on this element.
	BeginAnimation	Overloaded. Starts an animation for a specified animated property on this element.
	CaptureMouse	Attempts to force capture of the mouse to this element.
	CaptureStylus	Attempts to force capture of the stylus to this element.
	CheckAccess	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (inherited from DispatcherObject)
	ClearValue	Overloaded. Clears the local value of a property. (inherited from DependencyObject)
	CoerceValue	Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the property on this type. (inherited from DependencyObject)
	Equals	Overloaded. Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject. (inherited from DependencyObject)
	Focus	Attempts to focus the keyboard on this element.
	GetAnimationBaseValue	Returns the base property value for the specified property on this element, disregarding any possible animated value from a running or stopped animation.

	PredictFocus	When overridden in a derived class, returns the element that would receive focus for a specified focus traversal direction, without actually moving focus to that element.
	RaiseEvent	Raises a specific routed event. The RoutedEvent to be raised is identified within the RoutedEventArgs instance that is provided (as the RoutedEvent property of that event data).
	ReadLocalValue	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (inherited from DependencyObject)
	ReferenceEquals	Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance. (inherited from Object)
	ReleaseMouseCapture	Releases the mouse capture, if this element held the capture.
	ReleaseStylusCapture	Releases the stylus device capture, if this element held the capture.

	ShouldSerializeCommandBindings	Returns whether serialization processes should serialize the contents of the CommandBindings property on instances of this class.
	ShouldSerializeInputBindings	Returns whether serialization processes should serialize the contents of the InputBindings property on instances of this class.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (inherited from Object)
	VerifyAccess	Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (inherited from DispatcherObject)
