TextAutomationPeer.GetNameCore Method

Definition

Gets the text label of the element that is associated with this TextAutomationPeer. Called by GetName().

C#
protected override string GetNameCore();

Returns

The value of Name or LabeledBy if either is set; otherwise this method returns an empty string.

Remarks

The name property can be thought of as the string of text that a user would use to explain which control is being referred to. It is important to have a textual representation for all controls in the graphical user interface (GUI) so that you can programmatically refer to the control in a localized manner.
