TextPattern.RangeFromChild(AutomationElement) Method

Definition

Retrieves a text range enclosing a child element such as an image, hyperlink, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or other embedded object.

public:
 System::Windows::Automation::Text::TextPatternRange ^ RangeFromChild(System::Windows::Automation::AutomationElement ^ childElement);
public System.Windows.Automation.Text.TextPatternRange RangeFromChild (System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement childElement);
member this.RangeFromChild : System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement -> System.Windows.Automation.Text.TextPatternRange
Public Function RangeFromChild (childElement As AutomationElement) As TextPatternRange

Parameters

childElement
AutomationElement

The enclosed object.

Returns

A range that spans the child element.

Exceptions

The child element is null.

The element is not a child of the text container.

Remarks

If there is no text in the range where the child element exists, a degenerate (empty) range is returned.

The childElement parameter is either a child of the AutomationElement associated with a TextPattern or from the array of children of a TextPatternRange.
