RangeValuePattern.RangeValuePatternInformation.SmallChange Property

Definition

Gets the small-change value, unique to the UI Automation element, which is added to or subtracted from the elements Value property.

public:
 property double SmallChange { double get(); };
public double SmallChange { get; }
member this.SmallChange : double
Public ReadOnly Property SmallChange As Double

Property Value

The small-change value unique to the UI Automation element or null if the element does not support SmallChange. The default value is 0.0.

Examples

In the following example, an AutomationElement that supports the RangeValuePattern control pattern has its value incremented or decremented by the control-specific SmallChange value.

SetRangeValue(targetControl[0], rangeValuePattern.Current.SmallChange, 1);
SetRangeValue(targetControl(0), rangeValuePattern.Current.SmallChange, 1)
