  • TdxBarItem.Automation Property

    Provides access to bar item UI Automation and accessibility-related settings.

    Declaration

    property Automation: TdxAutomationElementSettings read; write;

    Property Value

    Type Description
    TdxAutomationElementSettings

    Stores UI Automation and accessibility settings.

    Remarks

    Bar items (TdxBarItem descendant instances) map to a node in the UI Automation tree. A UIA client application reads properties of the UIA node that corresponds to the focused bar item.

    Available Options

    The Caption property value serves as the default name for the corresponding node in the UI Automation tree. You can use the Automation.Name property to specify a different name for the UIA node associated with the bar item and retain the current caption in the UI.

    In addition, you can use the Automation.Description property to add optional information to clarify the UI element purpose for users who rely on third-party assistive tools (such as Microsoft Narrator).

    Refer to the TdxAutomationElementSettings class description for detailed information on all available options.
