IUIAutomationDragPattern::GetCurrentGrabbedItems method (uiautomationclient.h)

Retrieves a collection of elements that represent the full set of items that the user is dragging as part of a drag operation.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCurrentGrabbedItems(
  [out, retval, optional] IUIAutomationElementArray **retVal
);

Parameters

[out, retval, optional] retVal

Type: IAutomationElementArray**

The collection of elements that the user is dragging. This property is NULL or an empty array if only a single item is being dragged. The default value is an empty array.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

If the user is dragging multiple items, the items are represented by a single master element with an associated set of grabbed elements. The master item fires the appropriate events, to avoid having a large set of duplicate events. The client can query the GrabbedItems property to get the full list of grabbed items.
