Methods

IItemContainerProvider::FindItemByProperty

Retrieves an element within a containing element, based on a specified property value. (IItemContainerProvider.FindItemByProperty)

Remarks

The ItemContainer control pattern allows a container object to efficiently lookup an item by a specified automation element property, such as Name, AutomationId, or IsSelected state. While this control pattern is introduced with a view to being used by virtualized containers, it can be implemented by any container that provides name lookup, independently of whether that container uses virtualization.
