Remarks

To access the properties of a UITestControl (for example, to get the count of items in a ListBox or to set the text on a button) you must use GetProperty and SetProperty to get and set the specific properties of the UITestControl. The propertyName parameter specifies the property to access.

To get the count of items in a HtmlList, use GetProperty together with the parameter ItemCount.
