Remarks

When UI Automation queries the root of a Silverlight application about an object, the root returns the UI Automation peer for that object. The peer also responds to UI Automation queries about its corresponding object.

Many (but not all) members of this class follow a pattern where the UI Automation system calls methods of this base class. The base class then accesses "Core" methods that are overridden by specific peer implementations. For this pattern, the matching method does nothing other than calling the "Core" method, and that "Core" method is left undefined in AutomationPeer. The derived FrameworkElementAutomationPeer overrides some of the "Core" methods to provide some practical defaults, but specific peers often override additional "Core" methods or override FrameworkElementAutomationPeer again to provide their specific automation peer behavior.
