Remarks

Data items that are not UIElement types do not have full representation in all possible tree metaphors. However, they can have an object tree that is interpreted by a hosting control, and a corresponding automation tree.

For example, a ListBox can have a collection of strings that contain data items. The collection is not a UIElement, nor are the strings. When those items are processed by an ItemsControl for visualization, an object tree is created for them. This object tree can have a corresponding automation tree. After the object tree is created, Silverlight merges the object tree into the remainder of the automation tree. ItemAutomationPeer works with its UIElement counterpart, if it exists, to obtain more information about the UIElement in the automation tree.

Only visible data items, or more precisely, the corresponding UIElement types in object trees, have this dualism: the item might simultaneously have a UI-specific peer as well as an ItemAutomationPeer that forwards information from the type-specific peer for the most part. Nonvisible data items, which have no corresponding UIElement in the object tree, have only their ItemAutomationPeer.

ItemAutomationPeer is abstract, and in general the relevant peers you use for automation will be either ListBoxItemAutomationPeer or TabItemAutomationPeer. ItemAutomationPeer provides the final overrides for most of the FrameworkElementAutomationPeer defined API, with the exception of the API that reports type system information (for example GetNameCore). ItemAutomationPeer is also relevant as a base class if you are implementing an ItemsControl that does not derive from either Selector or TabControl, and need an automation peer class for the items.

Notes to Inheritors

ItemAutomationPeer derives from FrameworkElementAutomationPeer and overrides several FrameworkElementAutomationPeer APIs. Generally the overrides follow a pattern where if the ItemAutomationPeer has a nonnull Owner, then the implementation calls base. If the owner is null, then the implementations check for an associated container and use its automation information if possible. The fallback values if neither of these conditions are true are generally the value defaults for that data type, or otherwise representat that there is not a conventional UI item associated with this item in the automation tree.
