Examples

The following example retrieves the current value of the property. The default value is returned if the element does not provide one.

OrientationType orientationType = (OrientationType)
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.OrientationProperty);

Dim orientationType As OrientationType = _
    DirectCast(autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.OrientationProperty), _
    OrientationType)

The following example retrieves the current value of the property, but specifies that if the element itself does not provide a value for the property, NotSupported is to be returned instead of a default value.

OrientationType orientationType1;
object orientationTypeNoDefault =
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.OrientationProperty, true);
if (orientationTypeNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
    // TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
}
else
{
    orientationType1 = (OrientationType)orientationTypeNoDefault;
}

Dim orientationType1 As OrientationType
Dim orientationTypeNoDefault As Object = autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.OrientationProperty, True)
If orientationTypeNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
    ' TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
Else
    orientationType1 = DirectCast(orientationTypeNoDefault, OrientationType)
End If
