Registers the method that will handle structure-changed events.

public:
 static void AddStructureChangedEventHandler(System::Windows::Automation::AutomationElement ^ element, System::Windows::Automation::TreeScope scope, System::Windows::Automation::StructureChangedEventHandler ^ eventHandler);

public static void AddStructureChangedEventHandler (System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement element, System.Windows.Automation.TreeScope scope, System.Windows.Automation.StructureChangedEventHandler eventHandler);

static member AddStructureChangedEventHandler : System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement * System.Windows.Automation.TreeScope * System.Windows.Automation.StructureChangedEventHandler -> unit

Public Shared Sub AddStructureChangedEventHandler (element As AutomationElement, scope As TreeScope, eventHandler As StructureChangedEventHandler)

Parameters

element: AutomationElement

The UI Automation element with which to associate the event handler.

scope: TreeScope

The scope of events to be handled; that is, whether they are on the element itself, or on its ancestors and descendants.

eventHandler: StructureChangedEventHandler

The method to call when the structure-changed event occurs.

Examples

The following example shows a structure-changed event handler delegate that will be called whenever the subtree of the specified AutomationElement changes.

/// <summary>
/// Handles structure-changed events. If a new app window has been added, this method ensures
/// it's in the list of runtime IDs and subscribed to window-close events.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">Object that raised the event.</param>
/// <param name="e">Event arguments.</param>
/// <remarks>
/// An exception can be thrown by the UI Automation core if the element disappears
/// before it can be processed -- for example, if a menu item is only briefly visible. 
/// This exception cannot be caught here because it crosses native/managed boundaries. 
/// In the debugger, you can ignore it and continue execution. The exception does not cause
/// a break when the executable is being run.
/// </remarks>
private void OnStructureChanged(object sender, StructureChangedEventArgs e)
{
    AutomationElement element = sender as AutomationElement;

    if (e.StructureChangeType == StructureChangeType.ChildAdded)
    {
        Object windowPattern;
        if (false == element.TryGetCurrentPattern(WindowPattern.Pattern, out windowPattern))
        {
            return;
        }
        int[] rid = e.GetRuntimeId();
        if (RuntimeIdListed(rid, savedRuntimeIds) < 0)
        {
            AddToWindowHandler(element);
            savedRuntimeIds.Add(rid);
        }
    }
}

Private Sub OnStructureChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As StructureChangedEventArgs) 

    Dim element As AutomationElement = DirectCast(sender, AutomationElement)
    If e.StructureChangeType = StructureChangeType.ChildAdded Then
        Dim myWindowPattern As Object = Nothing
        If False = element.TryGetCurrentPattern(WindowPattern.Pattern, myWindowPattern) Then
            Return
        End If
        Dim rid As Integer() = e.GetRuntimeId()
        If RuntimeIdListed(rid, savedRuntimeIds) < 0 Then
            AddToWindowHandler(element)
            savedRuntimeIds.Add(rid)
        End If
    End If
 
End Sub

The following example code adds an instance of the delegate.

// elementRoot is an AutomationElement.
Automation.AddStructureChangedEventHandler(elementRoot, TreeScope.Children, 
    new StructureChangedEventHandler(OnStructureChanged));

' elementRoot is an AutomationElement.
Automation.AddStructureChangedEventHandler(elementRoot, TreeScope.Children, New StructureChangedEventHandler(AddressOf OnStructureChanged))

Remarks

eventHandler can be an instance of the method, or a reference to the method (AddressOf in Visual Basic).
