Implement IScrollProvider in order to support the capabilities that an automation client requests with a GetPattern call and PatternInterface.Scroll. |
| ISelectionItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a Microsoft UI Automation client to individual, selectable child controls of containers that implement ISelectionProvider. Implement this interface in order to support the capabilities that an automation client requests with a GetPattern call and PatternInterface.SelectionItem. |
| ISelectionProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a Microsoft UI Automation client to controls that act as containers for a collection of individual, selectable child items. The children of this element must implement ISelectionItemProvider. Implement ISelectionProvider in order to support the capabilities that an automation client requests with a GetPattern call and PatternInterface.SelectionItem. |
| ITableItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support Microsoft UI Automation client access to child controls of containers that implement ITableProvider.
