Raise Events from a UI Automation Provider

This topic contains example code that shows how to raise an event from a UI Automation provider.

Example

In the following example, a UI Automation event is raised in the implementation of a custom button control. The implementation enables a UI Automation client application to simulate a button click.

To avoid unnecessary processing, the example checks ClientsAreListening to see whether events should be raised.

/// <summary>
/// Responds to a button click, regardless of whether it was caused by a mouse or
/// keyboard click or by InvokePattern.Invoke. 
/// </summary>
private void OnCustomButtonClicked()
{
    // TODO  Perform program actions invoked by the control.

    // Raise an event.
    if (AutomationInteropProvider.ClientsAreListening)
    {
        AutomationEventArgs args = new AutomationEventArgs(InvokePatternIdentifiers.InvokedEvent);
        AutomationInteropProvider.RaiseAutomationEvent(InvokePatternIdentifiers.InvokedEvent, this, args);
    }
}
''' <summary>
''' Responds to a button click, regardless of whether it was caused by a 
''' mouse or keyboard click or by InvokePattern.Invoke. 
''' </summary>
Private Sub OnCustomButtonClicked()

    '' TODO  Perform program actions invoked by the control.

    '' Raise an event.
    If AutomationInteropProvider.ClientsAreListening Then
        Dim args As AutomationEventArgs = _
            New AutomationEventArgs(InvokePatternIdentifiers.InvokedEvent)
        AutomationInteropProvider.RaiseAutomationEvent( _
            InvokePatternIdentifiers.InvokedEvent, Me, args)
    End If
End Sub
