Examples

In the following example, event listeners are declared and an AutomationEventHandler delegate is specified for WindowOpenedEvent and WindowClosedEvent events.

/// <summary>
/// Register for events of interest.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="targetControl">
/// The automation element of interest.
/// </param>

    AutomationElement targetControl)
{
    AutomationEventHandler eventHandler = 
        new AutomationEventHandler(OnWindowOpenOrClose);
    Automation.AddAutomationEventHandler(
        WindowPattern.WindowClosedEvent, 
        targetControl, TreeScope.Element, eventHandler);
    Automation.AddAutomationEventHandler(
        WindowPattern.WindowOpenedEvent, 
        targetControl, TreeScope.Element, eventHandler);
}
