TdxCustomLayoutControl.Automation Property

Provides access to layout control UI Automation and accessibility-related settings.

Declaration

property Automation: TdxAutomationElementSettings read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxAutomationElementSettings	Stores UI Automation tree node settings.

Remarks

A Layout control and the hierarchy of all nested nested groups and items map to nodes in the UI Automation tree. A UIA client application reads properties of the UIA node that corresponds to the focused control.

You can use the Automation property to configure root UIA node properties for the Layout control. In turn, each group and item has its own Automation property you can use to configure all nested nodes in the Layout control hierarchy.

Available Options

You can use the Automation.Name property to specify a name for the UIA node associated with the Layout control.

In addition, you can use the Automation.Description property to add optional information to clarify the content 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.
