Mapping HTML 4.0 to UI Automation (Windows Store apps using JavaScript and HTML) (Windows)

1 out of 1 rated this helpful - Rate this topic

The table in this section shows how HTML 4.0 elements and properties map to Microsoft UI Automation control types, control patterns, and properties. The following notes pertain to the table:

Plain text in a BODY element maps to the Text control type; however, the bounding rectangle of a BODY element includes the immediately preceding non-textual element, if any.
Because all elements in the following table support the LegacyIAccessible control pattern, this pattern is included in the table only when it exposes information that isn't exposed through any other property.
A hyphen (-) indicates a property that must be excluded (or the property's value must be empty). A plus sign (+) indicates that a value for the property is required.
