IRawElementProviderSimple::get_ProviderOptions method (uiautomationcore.h)
Specifies the type of Microsoft UI Automation provider; for example, whether it is a client-side (proxy) or server-side provider.
This property is read-only.
Syntax
HRESULT get_ProviderOptions(
ProviderOptions *pRetVal
);
Parameters
pRetVal
Return value
None
Remarks
The method must return either ProviderOptions_ServerSideProvider or ProviderOptions_ClientSideProvider.
UI Automation handles the various types of providers differently. For example, events from a server-side provider are broadcast to all listening clients, but events from client-side (proxy) providers remain in the client.
Examples
The following example implements this method for a server-side UI Automation provider.
HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE Provider::get_ProviderOptions( ProviderOptions* pRetVal )
{
*pRetVal = ProviderOptions_ServerSideProvider;
return S_OK;
}
