Inheritance: Object
TreeWalker

Remarks

UI Automation clients view the UI Automation elements on the desktop as a set of AutomationElement objects arranged in a tree structure.

Using the TreeWalker class, a client application can navigate the UI Automation tree by selecting a view of the tree and stepping from one AutomationElement to another in a specified direction using the GetFirstChild, GetLastChild, GetPreviousSibling, GetNextSibling, and GetParent methods.

Navigating the UI Automation tree using TreeWalker can result in cross-process calls and is not as efficient as locating an element using the FindAll or FindFirst methods.

If your client application might try to find elements in its own user interface, you must make all UI Automation calls on a separate thread.

Constructors
