protected override string GetAutomationIdCore()

Return Value

Type: System..::.String
The automation identifier for the element associated with the ItemAutomationPeer, or String..::.Empty if there is no automation identifier.

Remarks

If the item is a UIElement with its own peer as reported by Owner, then information from that peer is forwarded. Next, the container peer (which could be ItemsControlAutomationPeer, ListBoxAutomationPeer, or another class) is used as a possible source. Finally, if there is no container peer, then this method returns String..::.Empty.
