Retrieves the cached value of the specified property from an AutomationElement.
| GetCachedPropertyValue(AutomationProperty) |
Retrieves the value of the specified property from the cache of this AutomationElement. An appropriate default value for the property type is returned for properties not explicitly supported by the target user interface (UI) element. |
| GetCachedPropertyValue(AutomationProperty, Boolean) |
Retrieves the value of the specified property from the cache of this AutomationElement, optionally ignoring any default property. |
GetCachedPropertyValue retrieves the specified property from the cache of the AutomationElement. To retrieve the current property, call GetCurrentPropertyValue.
Retrieves the value of the specified property from the cache of this AutomationElement. An appropriate default value for the property type is returned for properties not explicitly supported by the target user interface (UI) element.

Remarks
If the UI Automation provider for the element itself supports the property, the value of the property is returned. Otherwise, a default property specified by UI Automation is returned. For information on default properties, see the property identifier fields of AutomationElement, such as AcceleratorKeyProperty.
GetCachedPropertyValue retrieves the specified property from the AutomationElement's cache. To retrieve the current object for the specified property call GetCurrentPropertyValue.
This method throws an exception if the requested property was not previously cached.

Remarks
GetCachedPropertyValue retrieves the specified property from the cache for the AutomationElement. To retrieve the current property, call GetCurrentPropertyValue.
Passing false in ignoreDefaultValue is equivalent to calling AutomationElement.GetCachedPropertyValue(AutomationProperty).
If the UI Automation provider for the element itself supports the property, the value of the property is returned. Otherwise, if ignoreDefaultValue is false, a default property specified by UI Automation is returned. For information on default properties, see the property identifier fields of AutomationElement, such as AcceleratorKeyProperty.
This method throws an exception if the requested property was not previously cached.
