Methods

CanReplace(FlavorElement)

Returns a value specifying if this flavor element can replace elem.

public override bool CanReplace(FlavorElement flavorElem)

Parameters

flavorElem FlavorElement

Returns

bool

True if this flavor element can replace elem, otherwise false.

Remarks

The base method returns true if this flavor element IsEqual(FlavorElement) to elem.

EnsureVisible()

Ensures that the flavor element is visible.

public override bool EnsureVisible()

Returns

bool

True if the operation was successful.

Focus()

Focuses the flavor element, if possible.

public override void Focus()

GetAttributeValue(Element, string)

Needs to be implemented for attribute value read access.

[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
public override object GetAttributeValue(Element element, string name)

Parameters

element Element

The element instance used.

name string

The name of the attribute (lowercased).

Returns

object

The attribute value.

GetChildLineageFromPoint(Point, out FindRefineMode)

Returns a list of flavor elements that is the lineage to the flavor element at the specified screen location.

public override LinkedList<FlavorElement> GetChildLineageFromPoint(Point screenLocation, out FindRefineMode refineMode)

Parameters

screenLocation Point

The screen location to search at.

refineMode FindRefineMode

Can be set to indicate that further searching is required.

Returns

LinkedList<FlavorElement>

The lineage to the flavor element at the specified point as a list.

Remarks

The first element in the returned list is the direct child of this flavor element, the k-th element is the parent of the (k+1)-th element, and the last element is the actual flavor element at the specified screen location. Consequently, an empty list is to be returned if this element is the best fitting element at the requested point.

Returns null if the specified screenLocation is not within this or one of its descendant elements.

GetElementCapabilities(Element, out Role, out string[], out string)

Supplies the role, a list of capabilities and a preferred capability names to the caller. This method called when building a new element from the flavor element.

public override void GetElementCapabilities(Element parent, out Role role, out string[] capabilities, out string preferredCap)

Parameters

parent Element

The parent element of the element to be constructed. (for reference only)

role Role

The role the element should have.

capabilities string[]

The list of capabilities the element should have.

preferredCap string

The preferred capability the element should have.

GetPropertyValue(AutomationProperty) 

public object GetPropertyValue(AutomationProperty property)

Parameters

property AutomationProperty

Returns

object

GetRuntimeTokenValues()

Gets the runtime token values. This must be implemented by the flavors.

protected override object[] GetRuntimeTokenValues()

Returns

object[]

A collection of objects representing a runtime token.

HandleException(Exception) 

protected Exception HandleException(Exception ex)

Parameters

ex Exception

Returns

Exception

InvokeAction(Element, string, object[])

Needs to be implemented for element action invocation.

public override object InvokeAction(Element element, string name, object[] args)

Parameters

element Element

The element instance used.

name string

The name of the action (lowercased).

args object[]

A list of invocation parameters.

Returns

object

The invocation result. Can be null if the return type is void.

SetAttributeValue(Element, string, object)

Needs to be implemented for attribute value write access.

public override void SetAttributeValue(Element element, string name, object value)

Parameters

element Element

The element instance used.

name string

The name of the attribute (lowercased).

value object

The attribute value to be set.
