UI Automation Support for the Group Control Type

Actualización: noviembre 2007

This topic provides information about Automatización de la interfaz de usuario support for the Group control type. In Automatización de la interfaz de usuario, a control type is a set of conditions that a control must meet in order to use the ControlTypeProperty property. The conditions include specific guidelines for Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree structure, Automatización de la interfaz de usuario property values, and Automatización de la interfaz de usuario control patterns.

The group control represents a node within a hierarchy. The Group control type creates a separation in the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree so items that are grouped together have a logical division within the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree.

The following sections define the required Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree structure, properties, control patterns, and events for the Group control type. The Automatización de la interfaz de usuario requirements apply to all group controls, whether Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Win32, or formularios Windows Forms.

Required UI Automation Tree Structure

The following table depicts the control view and the content view of the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree that pertains to group controls and describes what can be contained in each view. For more information on the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree, see UI Automation Tree Overview.

Control View

Content View

  • Group

    • 0 or many controls

  • Group

    • 0 or many controls

Typically group controls will have the UI Automation Support for the ListItem Control Type, UI Automation Support for the TreeItem Control Type, or UI Automation Support for the DataItem Control Type control types found underneath them in the subtree. Because 'Group' is a generic container, it is possible for any type of control to be under the Group control in the tree.

Required UI Automation Properties

The following table lists the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario properties whose value or definition is especially relevant to group controls. For more information about Automatización de la interfaz de usuario properties, see UI Automation Properties for Clients.

Automatización de la interfaz de usuario Property

Value

Notes

AutomationIdProperty()

See notes.

The value of this property needs to be unique across all controls in an application.

BoundingRectangleProperty

See notes.

The outermost rectangle that contains the whole control.

ClickablePointProperty

See notes.

Supported if there is a bounding rectangle. If not every point within the bounding rectangle is clickable, and you perform specialized hit testing, then override and provide a clickable point.

IsKeyboardFocusableProperty

See notes.

If the control can receive keyboard focus, it must support this property.

NameProperty

See notes.

The group control typically gets its name from the text that labels the control.

LabeledByProperty

See notes.

Group controls are typically self-labeling. In these cases return null here. If there is a static text label for the group then that must be returned as the value of the LabeledBy property.

ControlTypeProperty

Group

This value is the same for all UI frameworks.

LocalizedControlTypeProperty

"group"

Localized string corresponding to the Group control type.

IsContentElementProperty

True

The group control is always included in the content view of the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree.

IsControlElementProperty

True

The calendar group is always included in the control view of the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario tree.

Required UI Automation Control Patterns

The following table lists the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario control patterns required to be supported for the Group control type. For more information about control patterns, see Información general acerca de los patrones de control de automatización de la interfaz de usuario.

Control Pattern/Pattern Property

Support/Value

Notes

IExpandCollapseProvider

Depends

Group controls that can be used to show or hide information must support the Expand Collapse pattern.

Required UI Automation Events

The following table lists the Automatización de la interfaz de usuario events required to be supported by all group controls. For more information about events, see UI Automation Events Overview.
