Examples

The following example retrieves the current value of the property. The default value is returned if the element does not provide one.

bool isControl = (bool)
   autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.IsControlElementProperty);

Dim isControl As Boolean = CBool(autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.IsControlElementProperty))

The following example retrieves the current value of the property, but specifies that if the element itself does not provide a value for the property, NotSupported is to be returned instead of a default value.

bool isControl1;
object isControlNoDefault =
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.IsControlElementProperty, true);
if (isControlNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
    // TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
}
else
{
    isControl1 = (bool)isControlNoDefault;
}

Dim isControl1 As Boolean
Dim isControlNoDefault As Object = autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.IsControlElementProperty, True)
If isControlNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
    ' TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
Else
    isControl1 = CBool(isControlNoDefault)
End If
