AutomationProperty Class
Identifies a property of an AutomationElement.
System.Windows.Automation.AutomationIdentifier
System.Windows.Automation.AutomationProperty
Assembly: UIAutomationTypes (in UIAutomationTypes.dll)
The AutomationProperty type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Id | Gets the underlying numerical identifier. (Inherited from AutomationIdentifier.) |
![]() | ProgrammaticName | Gets the registered programmatic name. (Inherited from AutomationIdentifier.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CompareTo | Compares this AutomationIdentifier with another AutomationIdentifier. (Inherited from AutomationIdentifier.) |
![]() | Equals | Returns a value indicating whether the supplied AutomationIdentifier is equivalent to this AutomationIdentifier. (Inherited from AutomationIdentifier.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this UI Automation identifier. (Inherited from AutomationIdentifier.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | LookupById | Retrieves an AutomationProperty that encapsulates a specified numerical identifier. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
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
