Examples

The following code shows a custom view implementing IViewAutomationPeer in a separate class to handle a button that appears at the top of the ListView control.

public class OneButtonHeaderView : ViewBase
{
    protected override IViewAutomationPeer GetAutomationPeer(ListView parent)
    {
        return new OneButtonHeaderViewAutomationPeer( this, parent );
    }

Public Class OneButtonHeaderView
    Inherits ViewBase
    Protected Overrides Function GetAutomationPeer(ByVal parent As ListView) As IViewAutomationPeer
        Return New OneButtonHeaderViewAutomationPeer(Me, parent)
    End Function

public class OneButtonHeaderViewAutomationPeer : IViewAutomationPeer
{
    ListView m_lv;

    public OneButtonHeaderViewAutomationPeer(OneButtonHeaderView control, ListView parent)
    {
        m_lv = parent;
    }

    ItemAutomationPeer IViewAutomationPeer.CreateItemAutomationPeer(Object item)
    {
        ListViewAutomationPeer lvAP = UIElementAutomationPeer.FromElement(m_lv) as ListViewAutomationPeer;
        return new ListBoxItemAutomationPeer(item, lvAP);
    }

    {
        return AutomationControlType.List;

        // our view must add its banner button peer to this list.

        Button b = (Button)m_lv.Template.FindName("BannerButton", m_lv);
        AutomationPeer peer = UIElementAutomationPeer.CreatePeerForElement(b);

        //If children is null, we still need to create an empty list to insert the button
        children ??= new List<AutomationPeer>();

        children.Insert(0, peer);

        return children;
    }

    Object IViewAutomationPeer.GetPattern(PatternInterface patternInterface)
    {
        // we can invoke the banner button 
        if (patternInterface == PatternInterface.Invoke)
