AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty Field

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Automation

Assembly:

UIAutomationClient.dll

Identifies the ProcessId property.

public: static initonly System::Windows::Automation::AutomationProperty ^ ProcessIdProperty;

Examples

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

int processIdentifier = (int)
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty);

Dim processIdentifier As Integer = _
    CInt(autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty))

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.

int processIdentifier1;
object processIdentifierNoDefault =
    autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty, true);
if (processIdentifierNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
    // TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
}
else
{
    processIdentifier1 = (int)processIdentifierNoDefault;
}

Dim processIdentifier1 As Integer
Dim processIdentifierNoDefault As Object = autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty, True)
If processIdentifierNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
    ' TODO Handle the case where you do not wish to proceed using the default value.
Else
    processIdentifier1 = CInt(processIdentifierNoDefault)
End If
