AutomationProperty Class
Visual Studio 2008
Identifies a property of an AutomationElement.
Assembly: UIAutomationTypes (in UIAutomationTypes.dll)
This class identifies properties, not the values of properties. Static objects of this type are found as fields of AutomationElement and control pattern classes.
The following example adds a property-changed event handler, and the handler checks the Property member of the event arguments to determine the property that has been changed.
Dim propChangeHandler As AutomationPropertyChangedEventHandler ''' <summary> ''' Adds a handler for property-changed event; in particular, a change in the enabled state. ''' </summary> ''' <param name="element">The UI Automation element whose state is being monitored.</param> Public Sub SubscribePropertyChange(ByVal element As AutomationElement) propChangeHandler = _ New AutomationPropertyChangedEventHandler(AddressOf OnPropertyChange) Automation.AddAutomationPropertyChangedEventHandler(element, TreeScope.Element, _ propChangeHandler, AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty) End Sub 'SubscribePropertyChange ''' <summary> ''' Handler for property changes. ''' </summary> ''' <param name="src">The source whose properties changed.</param> ''' <param name="e">Event arguments.</param> Private Sub OnPropertyChange(ByVal src As Object, ByVal e As AutomationPropertyChangedEventArgs) Dim sourceElement As AutomationElement = DirectCast(src, AutomationElement) If e.Property Is AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty Then Dim enabled As Boolean = CBool(e.NewValue) ' TODO: Do something with the new value. ' The element that raised the event can be identified by its runtime ID property. Else End If ' TODO: Handle other property-changed events. End Sub 'OnPropertyChange Public Sub UnsubscribePropertyChange(ByVal element As AutomationElement) If (propChangeHandler IsNot Nothing) Then Automation.RemoveAutomationPropertyChangedEventHandler(element, propChangeHandler) End If End Sub 'UnsubscribePropertyChange
