value: Double

The new value of the element.

value is less than the minimum or greater than the maximum value of the element.

Examples

In the following example, an AutomationElement that supports the RangeValuePattern control pattern has its value set to the control-specific minimum value.

SetRangeValue(targetControl[0], rangeValuePattern.Current.Minimum);

SetRangeValue(targetControl(0), rangeValuePattern.Current.Minimum)

///--------------------------------------------------------------------
private void SetRangeValue(
    AutomationElement targetControl,
    double rangeValue)
{
    if (targetControl == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Argument cannot be null.");
    }

    RangeValuePattern rangeValuePattern =
        GetRangeValuePattern(targetControl);

    if (rangeValuePattern.Current.IsReadOnly)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Control is read-only.");
    }

    }

    {
        // TO DO: Error handling.

Remarks

The actual value set depends on the control implementation. The control might round the requested value up or down. A UI Automation client can examine the Value property to determine the actual updated value. The client can also register for a property-changed event on the property and examine the old and new values returned in the AutomationPropertyChangedEventArgs.
