Definition

Retrieves a collection of all embedded objects that fall within the text range.

public:
 cli::array <System::Windows::Automation::AutomationElement ^> ^ GetChildren();
public System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement[] GetChildren ();
member this.GetChildren : unit -> System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement[]
Public Function GetChildren () As AutomationElement()

Returns

A collection of all child objects that fall within the range. Children that overlap with the range but are not entirely enclosed by it will also be included in the collection.

Returns an empty collection if there are no child objects.
