Header Control (MSAA UI Element Reference)
Note
This topic describes Header Control objects for purposes of MSAA UI Element Reference. How to create Header Control objects in various UI frameworks is not described here. See the API reference documentation for the UI framework you're using.
A header control displays headings at the top of columns of information and lets the user sort the information by clicking the headings. Windows Explorer uses a header control when the Details view is selected.
The window class name for a header control is WC_HEADER, which is defined as "SysHeader32" in Commctrl.h.

| Method | Comments |
