ControlType.GetRequiredPatternSets Method

Definition

Retrieves an array of sets of required patterns.

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

Returns

An array of sets of required patterns.

Examples

The following example calls GetRequiredPatternSets on every kind of ControlType contained as a static field in the ControlType class.

/// <summary>
/// Obtains information about patterns supported by control types.
/// Control types are obtained by reflection.
/// </summary>
private void ListPatterns()
{
    // Any instance of a ControlType will do since we just want to get the type.
    ControlType controlTypeInstance = ControlType.Button;
    Type type = typeof(ControlType);
    System.Reflection.FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields();
    foreach (System.Reflection.FieldInfo field in fields)
    {
        if (field.IsStatic)
        {
            ControlType controlType = field.GetValue(controlTypeInstance) as ControlType;
            Console.WriteLine("\n******************** {0} never supports:",
                               controlType.ProgrammaticName);
            AutomationPattern[] neverSupportedPatterns =
                               controlType.GetNeverSupportedPatterns();
            if (neverSupportedPatterns.Length == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("(None)");
            }
            else
            {
                foreach (AutomationPattern pattern in neverSupportedPatterns)
                {

                    foreach (AutomationPattern pattern in patterns)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(pattern.ProgrammaticName);
                    }

        End If
    Next field
End Sub

Remarks

Each element of the array contains an array of patterns, and each element that has this control type must support at least one of these arrays.

This method is useful for UI Automation clients that need to find all possible patterns, such as testing frameworks for a provider implementation.
