IUIAutomationPropertyCondition Represents a condition based on a property value that is used to find UI Automation elements.
IUIAutomationProxyFactory Exposes properties and methods of an object that creates a Microsoft UI Automation provider for UI elements that do not have native support for UI Automation. This interface is implemented by proxies.
IUIAutomationProxyFactoryEntry Represents a proxy factory in the table maintained by Microsoft UI Automation, and exposes properties and methods that can be used by client applications to interact with IUIAutomationProxyFactory objects.
IUIAutomationProxyFactoryMapping Exposes properties and methods for a table of proxy factories. Each table entry is represented by an IUIAutomationProxyFactoryEntry interface. The entries are in the order in which the system will attempt to use the proxies.
