Retrieves a text range enclosing a child element such as an image, hyperlink, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or other embedded object.

Syntax

HRESULT RangeFromChild(
  [in]          IUIAutomationElement   *child,
  [out, retval] IUIAutomationTextRange **range
);

[in] child

A pointer to the child element to be enclosed in the text range.

[out, retval] range
