Assembly:: UIAutomationTypes.dll

Important

Retrieves the UI Automation runtime identifier (ID) associated with this event.

public:
 cli::array <int> ^ GetRuntimeId();

public int[] GetRuntimeId ();

member this.GetRuntimeId : unit -> int[]

Public Function GetRuntimeId () As Integer()

Returns

Int32[]

The UI Automation runtime ID of the window on which the event was raised.

Examples

In the following example, the handler for the window-closed event ascertains whether the runtime ID of the closed window is in a list of the IDs of open windows. If the runtime ID is present, it is removed from the list.

/// <summary>
/// Handles window-closed events. Removes the window from the top-level window list.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">Object that raised the event.</param>
/// <param name="e">Event arguments.</param>
/// <remarks>
/// runtimteIds is an ArrayList that contains the runtime IDs of all top-level windows.
/// </remarks>
private void WindowClosedHandler(object sender, AutomationEventArgs e)
{
    WindowClosedEventArgs windowEventArgs = (WindowClosedEventArgs)e;
    int[] runtimeIdentifiers = windowEventArgs.GetRuntimeId();
    int index = RuntimeIdListed(runtimeIdentifiers, savedRuntimeIds);
    if (index >= 0)
    {
        savedRuntimeIds.RemoveAt(index);
        Console.WriteLine("Window closed.");
    }
}

Remarks

When your application receives a window-closed event, the sender parameter of the event handler cannot be used to obtain information about the window that has closed, because the corresponding Microsoft UI Automation element is no longer valid. Use GetRuntimeId to match the window with a known identifier.
