Interfaces

IAccessibleEx Exposes methods that are called by Microsoft UI Automation to retrieve extra information about a control that supports Microsoft Active Accessibility.

IObjectModelProvider Provides access to the underlying object model implemented by a control or application. (IObjectModelProvider)
IProxyProviderWinEventHandler Exposes a method that is implemented by proxy providers to handle WinEvents.
IProxyProviderWinEventSink Exposes methods used by proxy providers to raise events.
IRangeValueProvider Provides access to controls that can be set to a value within a range.
IRawElementProviderAdviseEvents Exposes methods that are called to notify the root element of a fragment when a Microsoft UI Automation client application begins or ends listening for events on that fragment.
IRawElementProviderFragment Exposes methods and properties on UI elements that are part of a structure more than one level deep, such as a list box or list item. Implemented by Microsoft UI Automation provider.
IRawElementProviderFragmentRoot Exposes methods and properties on the root element in a fragment.
IRawElementProviderHostingAccessibles This interface is implemented by a Microsoft UI Automation provider when the provider is the root of an accessibility tree that includes windowless controls that support Microsoft Active Accessibility.
IRawElementProviderHwndOverride Exposes a method that enables repositioning of window-based elements within the fragment's UI Automation tree.
IRawElementProviderSimple Defines methods and properties that expose simple UI elements.
IRawElementProviderSimple2 Extends the IRawElementProviderSimple interface to enable programmatically invoking context menus.
IRawElementProviderSimple3 Extends the IRawElementProviderSimple2 interface to enable retrieving metadata about how accessible technology should say the preferred content type.
IRawElementProviderWindowlessSite A Microsoft ActiveX control site implements this interface to enable a Microsoft UI Automation-enabled ActiveX control to express its accessibility.
IScrollItemProvider Provides access to individual child controls of containers that implement IScrollProvider.
IScrollProvider Provides access to controls that act as scrollable containers for a collection of child objects.
ISelectionItemProvider Provides access to individual, selectable child controls of containers that implement ISelectionProvider.
ISelectionProvider Provides access to controls that act as containers for a collection of individual, selectable child items.
ISelectionProvider2 Extends the ISelectionItemProvider interface to provide information about selected items.
ISpreadsheetItemProvider Provides access to information about an item (cell) in a spreadsheet.
ISpreadsheetProvider Provides access to items (cells) in a spreadsheet.
IStylesProvider Provides access to the visual styles associated with the content of a document.
ISynchronizedInputProvider Enables Microsoft UI Automation client applications to direct the mouse or keyboard input to a specific UI element.
ITableItemProvider Provides access to child controls of containers that implement ITableProvider.
ITableProvider Provides access to controls that act as containers for a collection of child elements.
ITextChildProvider Provides access to a text-based control (or an object embedded in text) that is a child or descendant of another text-based control.
ITextEditProvider Extends the ITextProvider interface to enable Microsoft UI Automation providers to expose programmatic text-edit actions.
ITextProvider Provides access to controls that contain text.
ITextProvider2 Extends the ITextProvider interface to enable Microsoft UI Automation providers to expose textual content that is the target of an annotation, and information about a caret that belongs to the provider.
ITextRangeProvider Provides access to a span of continuous text in a text container that implements ITextProvider or ITextProvider2.
ITextRangeProvider2 Extends the ITextRangeProvider interface to enable Microsoft UI Automation providers to invoke context menus.
IToggleProvider Provides access to controls that can cycle through a set of states and maintain a state after it is set.
ITransformProvider Provides access to controls that can be moved, resized, and/or rotated within a two-dimensional space.
ITransformProvider2 Extends the ITransformProvider interface to enable Microsoft UI Automation providers to expose properties to support the viewport zooming functionality of a control.
IUIAutomationPatternHandler Returns a client API wrapper object and to unmarshal property and method requests to an actual provider instance.
IUIAutomationPatternInstance Represents a control pattern object. The client API wrapper uses this interface to implement all property and method calls in terms of the GetProperty and CallMethod methods.
IUIAutomationRegistrar Exposes methods for registering new control patterns, properties, and events.
IValueProvider Provides access to controls that have an intrinsic value that does not span a range, and that can be represented as a string.
IVirtualizedItemProvider Provides access to virtualized items, which are items that are represented by placeholder automation elements in the Microsoft UI Automation tree.
IWindowProvider Provides access to the fundamental window-based functionality of a control.
