AutomationElement.AutomationElementInformation.ControlType Property

Definition

Gets the ControlType of the element.

public:
 property System::Windows::Automation::ControlType ^ ControlType { System::Windows::Automation::ControlType ^ get(); };
public System.Windows.Automation.ControlType ControlType { get; }
member this.ControlType : System.Windows.Automation.ControlType
Public ReadOnly Property ControlType As ControlType

Property Value

The interaction model for this element. The default value is Custom.

Remarks

Control type describes a known interaction model for arbitrary UI Automation elements without relying on a localized control type or combination of complex logic rules.

The only case where this property can change at run time is for a control that supports MultipleViewPattern. An example is the Win32 ListView control, which can change from DataGrid to List, depending on the current view.

For more information, see ControlTypeProperty.
