UI オートメーションにおけるキャッシュの使用

更新 : 2007 年 11 月

ここでは、AutomationElement プロパティとコントロール パターンのキャッシュを実装する方法について説明します。

キャッシュ要求のアクティブ化

  1. CacheRequest を作成します。

  2. Add を使用して、キャッシュするプロパティとパターンを指定します。

  3. TreeScope プロパティを設定することにより、キャッシュのスコープを指定します。

  4. TreeFilter プロパティを設定することにより、サブツリーのビューを指定します。

  5. オブジェクトへの完全な参照を取得しないことによる効率化を図りたい場合は、AutomationElementMode プロパティに None を設定します。このようにすると、これらのオブジェクトから現在の値を取得することはできなくなります。

  6. using ブロック内 (Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 内の Using) で Activate を使用して、要求をアクティブ化します。

AutomationElement オブジェクトの取得後、またはイベントへのサブスクライブ後に、Pop を使用するか (Push を使用した場合)、または Activateで作成したオブジェクトを破棄することにより、要求を非アクティブ化します。(Activate は using ブロック内 (Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 内の Using) で使用してください。)

AutomationElement プロパティのキャッシュ

  1. CacheRequest がアクティブな間に、FindFirst または FindAll を使用して、AutomationElement オブジェクトを取得します。あるいは、CacheRequest がアクティブな間に登録したイベントのソースとして AutomationElement を取得します (GetUpdatedCache またはいずれかの TreeWalker メソッドに CacheRequest を渡すことにより、キャッシュを作成することも可能です)。

  2. GetCachedPropertyValue を使用するか、または AutomationElementCached プロパティからプロパティを取得します。

キャッシュされたパターンとプロパティの取得

  1. CacheRequest がアクティブな間に、FindFirst または FindAll を使用して、AutomationElement オブジェクトを取得します。あるいは、CacheRequest がアクティブな間に登録したイベントのソースとして AutomationElement を取得します (GetUpdatedCache またはいずれかの TreeWalker メソッドに CacheRequest を渡すことにより、キャッシュを作成することも可能です)。

  2. キャッシュされたパターンを取得するために、GetCachedPattern または TryGetCachedPattern を使用します。

  3. コントロール パターンの Cached プロパティからプロパティ値を取得します。

次のコード例は、キャッシュのさまざまな側面を示し、Activate を使用して CacheRequest をアクティブ化しています。
