The following example retrieves the current value of the property. The default value is returned if the element does not provide one.

Dim itemType As String = _
CStr(autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemTypeProperty))
The following example retrieves the current value of the property, but specifies that if the element itself does not provide a value for the property, an application-defined string is to be returned instead of a default value.
string itemType1;
object itemTypeNoDefault =
autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemTypeProperty, true);
if (itemTypeNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
itemType1 = "Unknown type";
}
else
{
itemType1 = itemStatusNoDefault as string;
}
Dim itemType1 As String
Dim itemTypeNoDefault As Object = _
autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemTypeProperty, True)
If itemTypeNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
itemType1 = "Unknown type"
Else
itemType1 = CStr(itemStatusNoDefault)
End If
