How to find UI automation element via UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId
To find a UI automation element via the UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId
identifier in C#, you can use the AutomationElement
class from the System.Windows.Automation
namespace. Here's an example:
csharpusing System.Windows.Automation;
// Find an element with the specified automation ID
AutomationElement element = AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(
TreeScope.Descendants,
new PropertyCondition(
AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty,
"yourAutomationId"
)
);
// Use the element as needed
if (element != null) {
// Do something with the element
}
In this example, we use the AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst
method to find the first element in the UI automation tree that matches the specified condition. We pass in a TreeScope
value of TreeScope.Descendants
to search the entire UI automation tree, and a PropertyCondition
object that specifies the AutomationIdProperty
and the value we are searching for ("yourAutomationId"
in this example).
If an element is found that matches the specified condition, the FindFirst
method returns an AutomationElement
object representing that element. We can then use this element as needed, such as to interact with the UI or retrieve information about the element's properties.
Note that if you need to find multiple elements that match the same condition, you can use the AutomationElement.RootElement.FindAll
method instead, which returns an array of AutomationElement
objects.
