CacheRequest.Push Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Automation
Assembly:
UIAutomationClient.dll

Places the CacheRequest on the internal state stack, making it the active request on the current thread.

public:
 void Push();
public void Push ();
member this.Push : unit -> unit
Public Sub Push ()

Examples

The following example shows how to activate a CacheRequest by using Push.

/// <summary>
/// Caches and retrieves properties for a list item by using CacheRequest.Push.

/// <param name="autoElement">Element from which to retrieve a child element.</param>
/// <remarks>

/// an example of a useful method.
/// </remarks>
private void CachePropertiesByPush(AutomationElement elementList)
{
    // Set up the request.
    CacheRequest cacheRequest = new CacheRequest();

    // Do not get a full reference to the cached objects, only to their cached properties and patterns.
    cacheRequest.AutomationElementMode = AutomationElementMode.None;

    // Cache all elements, regardless of whether they are control or content elements.
    cacheRequest.TreeFilter = Automation.RawViewCondition;

    // Property and pattern to cache.
    cacheRequest.Add(AutomationElement.NameProperty);
    cacheRequest.Add(SelectionItemPattern.Pattern);

    // Activate the request.
    cacheRequest.Push();

    // Obtain an element and cache the requested items.
    Condition cond = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.IsSelectionItemPatternAvailableProperty, true);
    AutomationElement elementListItem = elementList.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, cond);

    // At this point, you could call another method that creates a CacheRequest and calls Push/Pop.
    // While that method was retrieving automation elements, the CacheRequest set in this method 
    // would not be active. 

    // Deactivate the request.
    cacheRequest.Pop();

    // Retrieve the cached property and pattern.
    String itemName = elementListItem.Cached.Name;
    SelectionItemPattern pattern = elementListItem.GetCachedPattern(SelectionItemPattern.Pattern) as SelectionItemPattern;

    // The following is an alternative way of retrieving the Name property.
    itemName = elementListItem.GetCachedPropertyValue(AutomationElement.NameProperty) as String;

    // This is yet another way, which returns AutomationElement.NotSupported if the element does
    // not supply a value. If the second parameter is false, a default name is returned.
    object objName = elementListItem.GetCachedPropertyValue(AutomationElement.NameProperty, true);
    if (objName == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
    {
        itemName = "Unknown";
    }

    //  default value (Full), this call would be valid.

Remarks

Multiple CacheRequest objects can be placed onto the state stack. Cache requests must be removed from the stack in the order they were pushed on; otherwise, an InvalidOperationException exception is raised.

Unless you are nesting cache requests, it is preferable to use Activate to place the request on the stack. The reason is that you can use Activate within a using block (Using in Visual Basic), ensuring that the request is popped off the stack even if an exception is raised.
