IUIAutomationEventHandlerGroup::AddNotificationEventHandler method (uiautomationclient.h)

  • Article

Registers a method that handles notification events.

Important  Microsoft UI Automation clients should use the handler group methods to register event listeners instead of individual event registration methods defined in the various IUIAutomation namespaces.
 

Syntax

HRESULT AddNotificationEventHandler(
  [in] TreeScope                             scope,
  [in] IUIAutomationCacheRequest             *cacheRequest,
  [in] IUIAutomationNotificationEventHandler *handler
);

Parameters

[in] scope

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

[in] cacheRequest

A pointer to a cache request, or NULL if no caching is wanted.

[in] handler

A pointer to the object that handles the notification event.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

Before implementing an event handler, you should be familiar with the threading issues described in Understanding Threading Issues.
