Stores UI Automation tree and accessibility-related settings.
|
A Layout control and the hierarchy of all nested groups and items map to nodes in the UI Automation tree. A UIA client application reads properties of the UIA node that corresponds to the focused control.
You can use the Automation property to configure UIA node properties for the current item/group. To configure the UIA node associated with the parent Layout control, use its Automation property.
You can use the Automation.Name property to specify a name for the UIA node associated with the Layout control.
In addition, you can use the Automation.Description property to add optional information to clarify the content purpose for users who rely on third-party assistive tools (such as Microsoft Narrator).
Refer to the TdxAutomationElementSettings class description for detailed information on all available options.
