IUIAutomationCacheRequest Interface

Exposes properties and methods of a cache request. Client applications use this interface to specify the properties and control patterns to be cached when a Microsoft UI Automation element is obtained.

IUIAutomationCacheRequest Members

AddPattern	Adds a control pattern to the cache request.
AddProperty	Adds a property to the cache request.
AutomationElementMode	Gets or sets a value that specifies whether returned elements should contain full references to the underlying user interface (UI), or only cached information.
Clone	Creates a copy of the cache request.
TreeFilter	Sets or retrieves the view of the UI Automation element tree to use when caching.
TreeScope	Sets or retrieves the scope of caching.

Remarks

Retrieving properties and patterns through UI Automation requires cross-process calls that can slow down performance. By caching values of proprieties and patterns in a batch operation, you can enhance the performance of your application.

Create a new cache request by calling IUIAutomation::CreateCacheRequest, and configure the request by calling methods of IUIAutomationCacheRequest.
