The UITechnologyElementProxy type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	UITechnologyElementProxy	Initializes the proxy element with the given technology manager.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ChildIndex	Gets the 0-based position in the parent element's collection. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.ChildIndex.)
	ClassName	Gets the class name of this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.ClassName.)
	ControlTypeName	Gets the universal control type of this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.ControlTypeName.)
	FriendlyName	Gets the user-friendly name for this element like display text that will help the user to quickly recognize the element on the screen. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.FriendlyName.)
	IsLeafNode	Gets whether this element is a leaf node (that is does not have any children) or not. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.IsLeafNode.)
	IsPassword	Gets a value that indicates whether this element contains protected content or not. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.IsPassword.)
	IsTreeSwitchingRequired	Gets whether the tree switching is required for window-less tree switching cases. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.IsTreeSwitchingRequired.)
	Name	Gets the name of this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.Name.)
	NativeElement	Gets the underlying native technology element (like IAccessible) corresponding this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.NativeElement.)
	QueryId	Gets a QueryId that can be used to uniquely identify/find this element. In some cases, such as TreeItem, the QueryIds might contain the complete element hierarchy but most of the time it will contain only important ancestors of the element. The technology manager must decide which ancestor to capture in the hierarchy by appropriately setting the QueryId.Ancestor property of each element. The APIs in condition classes like AndCondition.ToString() and AndCondition.Parse() may be used to convert from this class to string or vice-versa. EXT-PROTO1-NOTES: This QID also recursively converts all the ancestor core technology elements into the extension element and stitches the ancestor hierarchy appropriately. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.QueryId.)
	SupportLevel	(Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)
	SwitchingElement	Gets or sets the container element if one technology is hosted inside another technology. This is used by the framework. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.SwitchingElement.)
	TechnologyManager	Gets the corresponding technology manager. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.TechnologyManager.)
	TechnologyName	Gets the name of the corresponding technology. This value should be same as UITechnologyManager.TechnologyName. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.TechnologyName.)
	TopLevelElement	Gets or sets the top level window corresponding to this element. The top level windows are typically children of desktop. If this is not set, the framework will set this to the top-most ancestor of the element (after ignoring the desktop as ancestor). (Overrides UITechnologyElement.TopLevelElement.)
	Value	Gets the value of this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.Value.)
	WindowHandle	Gets the handle to the Win32 window that contains this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.WindowHandle.)
	WindowTitles	(Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CacheProperties	Caches all the common properties of this element for future use so that these properties can be used later even when the underlining UI control no longer exists. This typically includes properties like Name, ClassName, ControlType, QueryId and other properties used in identification string. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.CacheProperties().)
	EnsureVisibleByScrolling	Scrolls this element into view. If the technology manager does not support scrolling multiple containers, then the outPointX and outPointY should be returned as -1, -1. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.EnsureVisibleByScrolling(Int32, Int32, Int32%, Int32%).)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Equals(IUITechnologyElement)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.Equals(IUITechnologyElement).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetBoundingRectangle	Gets the coordinates of the rectangle that completely encloses this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetBoundingRectangle(Int32%, Int32%, Int32%, Int32%).)
	GetClickablePoint	Gets a clickable point for this element. The framework will use this to obtain clickable point if UITechnologyElement.GetOption(UITechnologyElementOption.GetClickablePointFrom) returns GetClickablePointFromTechnologyManager. To use the default algorithm provided by the framework, throw NotSupportedException. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetClickablePoint(Int32%, Int32%).)
	GetHashCode	Gets the hash code for this object. .NET Design Guidelines suggests overriding this too if Equals is overridden. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode.)
	GetNativeControlType	Gets the native control type of this element. This can be used in tandem with the universal type obtained via GetControlType() when just the ControlType is not enough to differentiate a control. For example, if the native technology element is HTML, this could be the tag name. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetNativeControlType(NativeControlTypeKind).)
	GetOption	Gets the option for this IUITechnologyElement. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetOption(UITechnologyElementOption).)
	GetPropertyValue	Gets the value for the specified property for this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetPropertyValue(String).)
	GetQueryIdForRelatedElement	Gets the QueryId for the related element specified by UITestElementKind. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetQueryIdForRelatedElement(UITestElementKind, Object, Int32%).)
	GetRequestedState	Gets the current state information of this element for the given requested states. If the element does not support querying only the selective states, it can return the complete state information. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetRequestedState(AccessibleStates).)
	GetRightToLeftProperty	Gets the true/false value for right to left format based on the kind specified. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetRightToLeftProperty(RightToLeftKind).)
	GetScrolledPercentage	Gets the amount scrolled in percentage. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.GetScrolledPercentage(ScrollDirection, IUITechnologyElement).)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	InitializeProgrammaticScroll	Initializes this element to do programmatic scrolling. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.InitializeProgrammaticScroll().)
	InvokeProgrammaticAction	Performs programmatic action, based on the ProgrammaticActionOption passed, on this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.InvokeProgrammaticAction(ProgrammaticActionOption).)
	IsInteractable	(Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	PerformKeyboardAction	(Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)
	PerformMouseAction	(Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)
	ScrollProgrammatically	Does the programmatic scrolling for this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.ScrollProgrammatically(ScrollDirection, ScrollAmount).)
	SetFocus	Sets the focus on this element. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.SetFocus().)
	SetOption	Sets the option for this IUITechnologyElement. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.SetOption(UITechnologyElementOption, Object).)
	SetPropertyValue	Performs a SetProperty action (Inherited from UITechnologyElement.)
	ToString	Gets the string representation of this control. (Overrides Object.ToString.)
	WaitForReady	Waits for the element to be ready for user action. (Overrides UITechnologyElement.WaitForReady().)
