Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Automation

Assembly:

UIAutomationClient.dll

Identifies the property that retrieves all the column headers associated with a table item or cell.

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

public static readonly System.Windows.Automation.AutomationProperty ColumnHeaderItemsProperty;

 staticval mutable ColumnHeaderItemsProperty : System.Windows.Automation.AutomationProperty

Public Shared ReadOnly ColumnHeaderItemsProperty As AutomationProperty 

Field Value

AutomationProperty

Examples

In the following example, an array of automation element objects representing the primary row or column header items of a table is retrieved.

For the purposes of this example, a relationship between the RowOrColumnMajor property and the row and column header items is demonstrated. However, a table can have row and column headers regardless of the RowOrColumnMajor property of the table.
