TextPatternRange.FindAttribute Method

Definition

Returns a text range subset that has the specified attribute value.

public:
 System::Windows::Automation::Text::TextPatternRange ^ FindAttribute(System::Windows::Automation::AutomationTextAttribute ^ attribute, System::Object ^ value, bool backward);
public System.Windows.Automation.Text.TextPatternRange FindAttribute (System.Windows.Automation.AutomationTextAttribute attribute, object value, bool backward);
member this.FindAttribute : System.Windows.Automation.AutomationTextAttribute * obj * bool -> System.Windows.Automation.Text.TextPatternRange
Public Function FindAttribute (attribute As AutomationTextAttribute, value As Object, backward As Boolean) As TextPatternRange

Parameters

attribute
AutomationTextAttribute

The attribute to search for.

value
Object

The attribute value to search for. This value must match the type specified for the attribute.

backward
Boolean

true if the last occurring text range should be returned instead of the first; otherwise false.

Returns

A text range having a matching attribute and attribute value; otherwise null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Examples

 private TextPatternRange RangeFromAttribute(AutomationElement target)
{
    // Specify the control type we're looking for, in this case 'Document'
    PropertyCondition cond = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Document);

    // target --> The root AutomationElement.
    AutomationElement textProvider = target.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, cond);

    TextPattern textpatternPattern = textProvider.GetCurrentPattern(TextPattern.Pattern) as TextPattern;

    if (textpatternPattern == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Root element does not contain a descendant that supports TextPattern.");
        return null;
    }
    TextPatternRange[] currentSelelction = textpatternPattern.GetSelection();
    // Find 'italic' range
    return currentSelelction[0].FindAttribute(TextPattern.IsItalicAttribute, true, false);
}
Private Function RangeFromAttribute(ByVal target As AutomationElement) As TextPatternRange
    ' Specify the control type we're looking for, in this case 'Document'
    Dim cond As PropertyCondition = New PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Document)

    ' target --> The root AutomationElement.
    Dim textProvider As AutomationElement = target.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, cond)

    Dim textpatternPattern As TextPattern = CType(textProvider.GetCurrentPattern(TextPattern.Pattern), TextPattern)

    If (textpatternPattern Is Nothing) Then
        Console.WriteLine("Root element does not contain a descendant that supports TextPattern.")
        Return Nothing
    End If
    Dim currentSelection As TextPatternRange() = textpatternPattern.GetSelection()
    Return currentSelection(0).FindAttribute(TextPattern.IsItalicAttribute, True, False)
End Function

Remarks

There is no differentiation between hidden and visible text. UI Automation clients can use IsHiddenAttribute to check text visibility.

Note

Use DocumentRange to search the entire document.
