Retrieves the accessible child control corresponding to the specified index.

public:
 override System::Windows::Forms::AccessibleObject ^ GetChild(int index);

public override System.Windows.Forms.AccessibleObject GetChild (int index);

public override System.Windows.Forms.AccessibleObject? GetChild (int index);

override this.GetChild : int -> System.Windows.Forms.AccessibleObject

Public Overrides Function GetChild (index As Integer) As AccessibleObject

Parameters

index: Int32

The zero-based index of the accessible child control.

Returns

AccessibleObject

An AccessibleObject that represents the accessible child control corresponding to the specified index.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the creation of an accessibility-aware chart control, using the AccessibleObject and Control.ControlAccessibleObject classes to expose accessible information. The control plots two curves along with a legend. The ChartControlAccessibleObject class, which derives from Control.ControlAccessibleObject, is used in the CreateAccessibilityInstance method to provide custom accessible information for the chart control. Because the chart legend is not an actual Control-based control, but instead is drawn by the chart control, it does not any built-in accessible information. Therefore, the ChartControlAccessibleObject class overrides the GetChild method to return the CurveLegendAccessibleObject that represents accessible information for each part of the legend. When an accessible-aware application uses this control, the control can provide the necessary accessible information.

This code demonstrates overriding the GetChild method. See the AccessibleObject class overview for the complete code example.
