The following example shows how to request a specific pattern.
''' <summary> ''' Retrieves the selection container for a selection item. ''' </summary> ''' <param name="listItem"> ''' An element that supports SelectionItemPattern. ''' </param> Function GetListItemParent(ByVal listItem As AutomationElement) As AutomationElement If listItem Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentException() End If Dim pattern As SelectionItemPattern = _ DirectCast(listItem.GetCurrentPattern(SelectionItemPattern.Pattern), SelectionItemPattern) If pattern Is Nothing Then Return Nothing Else Dim properties As SelectionItemPattern.SelectionItemPatternInformation = pattern.Current Return properties.SelectionContainer End If End Function 'GetListItemParent
