Defines provider patterns that are implemented by automation peers and recognized by automation clients.
Members
The Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation.Provider namespace has these types of members:
Classes
The Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation.Provider namespace has these classes.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| IRawElementProviderSimple | Provides methods and properties that expose basic information about a UI element. IRawElementProviderSimple is a class, not an interface. |
Interfaces
The Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation.Provider namespace implements these interfaces.
| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| IAnnotationProvider | Exposes the properties of an annotation in a document. |
| IDockProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that expose their dock properties in a docking container. |
| IDragProvider | Enables a UI Automation element to describe itself as an element that can be dragged as part of a drag-and-drop operation. |
| IDropTargetProvider | Enables a UI Automation element to describe itself as an element that can receive a drop of a dragged element as part of a drag-and-drop operation. |
| IExpandCollapseProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that visually expand to display content and that collapse to hide content. |
| IGridItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to individual child controls of containers that implement IGridProvider. |
| IGridProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that act as containers for a collection of child elements. |
| IInvokeProvider | Exposes a method to support UI Automation access to controls that initiate or perform a single, unambiguous action and do not maintain state when activated. |
| IItemContainerProvider | Exposes a method to enable applications to find an element in a container, such as a virtualized list. |
| IMultipleViewProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support UI Automation client access to controls that provide, and are able to switch between, multiple representations of the same set of information or child controls. |
| IRangeValueProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that can be set to a value within a range. |
| IScrollItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by UI Automation client to individual child controls of containers that implement IScrollProvider. |
| IScrollProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to a control that acts as a scrollable container for a collection of child objects. The children of this control must implement IScrollItemProvider. |
| ISelectionItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to individual, selectable child controls of containers that implement ISelectionProvider. |
| ISelectionProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that act as containers for a collection of individual, selectable child items. The children of this control must implement ISelectionItemProvider. |
| ITableItemProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support UI Automation client access to child controls of containers that implement ITableProvider. |
| ITableProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that act as containers for a collection of child elements. The children of this element must implement ITableItemProvider and be organized in a two-dimensional logical coordinate system that can be traversed (a UI Automation client can move to adjacent controls, which are headers or cells of the table) by using the keyboard. |
| ITextChildProvider | Provides access to a text-based control that is a child of another text-based control. |
| ITextProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support UI Automation client access to controls that contain text. |
| ITextProvider2 | Extends the ITextProvider interface to enable UI Automation providers to expose textual content that is the target of an annotation or selection. |
| ITextRangeProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support UI Automation client access to a span of continuous text in a text container that implements ITextProvider. |
| IToggleProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support UI Automation client access to controls that can cycle through a set of states and maintain a particular state. |
| ITransformProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls or elements that can be moved, resized, or rotated within a two-dimensional space. |
| IValueProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that have an intrinsic value that does not span a range and that can be represented as a string. |
| IVirtualizedItemProvider | Exposes a method to support the virtualized item control pattern. |
| IWindowProvider | Exposes methods and properties to support access by a UI Automation client to controls that provide fundamental window-based functionality within a traditional graphical user interface (GUI). |
