Examples

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

string itemStatus =
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemStatusProperty) as string;

Dim itemStatus As String = _
    CStr(autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemStatusProperty))

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.

string itemStatus1;
object itemStatusNoDefault =
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemStatusProperty, true);
if (itemStatusNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
    // TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
}
else
{
    itemStatus1 = itemStatusNoDefault as string;
}

Dim itemStatus1 As String
Dim itemStatusNoDefault As Object = _
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ItemStatusProperty, True)
If itemStatusNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
    ' TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
Else
    itemStatus1 = CStr(itemStatusNoDefault)
End If
