AutomationElement.FromLocalProvider(IRawElementProviderSimple) Method

Definition

Retrieves a new AutomationElement object from a local IRawElementProviderSimple implementation.

C#
public static System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement FromLocalProvider(System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IRawElementProviderSimple localImpl);

Parameters

localImpl
IRawElementProviderSimple

The provider object.

Returns

An AutomationElement that represents the element served by the provider object.

Remarks

This method might be used by a client helper library to enable its callers to access its own native element type. For example, WPF uses this method internally so that it can return an AutomationElement to clients that want to get a UI Automation element directly from a UIElement.
