Examples

The following example shows how to find a child window from its identifier.

/// <summary>
/// Find a UI Automation child element by ID.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="controlName">Name of the control, such as "button1"</param>
/// <param name="parentElement">Parent element, such as an application window, or the 
/// AutomationElement.RootElement when searching for the application window.</param>
/// <returns>The UI Automation element.</returns>
private AutomationElement FindChildElement(String controlName, AutomationElement rootElement)
{
    if ((controlName == "") || (rootElement == null))
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Argument cannot be null or empty.");
    }
    // Set a property condition that will be used to find the main form of the
    // target application. In the case of a WinForms control, the name of the control
    // is also the AutomationId of the element representing the control.
    Condition propCondition = new PropertyCondition(
        AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, controlName, PropertyConditionFlags.IgnoreCase);

    // Find the element.
    return rootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Element | TreeScope.Children, propCondition);
}

End Function 'FindChildElement

Remarks

The scope of the search is relative to the element on which the method is called.

When searching for a top-level window on the desktop, be sure to specify Children in scope, not Descendants. A search through the entire subtree of the desktop could iterate through thousands of items and lead to a stack overflow.

If your client application might try to find elements in its own user interface, you must make all UI Automation calls on a separate thread.
