ItemAutomationPeer.GetPattern Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns an object that supports the requested pattern, based on the patterns supported by this ItemAutomationPeer.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Automation.Peers
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetPattern ( _
    patternInterface As PatternInterface _
) As Object

public override Object GetPattern(
    PatternInterface patternInterface
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Object
The object that implements the pattern interface, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the specified pattern interface is not implemented.

Remarks

If the item is a UIElement with its own peer as reported by Owner, then information from that peer is forwarded. Next, the container peer (which could be ItemsControlAutomationPeer, ListBoxAutomationPeer, or another class) is used as a possible source. Finally, if there is no container peer, then this method returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
