Remarks

This property can be dynamic. For example, the content area of the UI Automation element might not be larger than the current viewable area, meaning VerticallyScrollable is false. However, resizing the UI Automation element or adding child items can increase the bounds of the content area beyond the viewable area, indicating that VerticallyScrollable is true.
