Provides access to UI Automation and accessibility-related settings.

Declaration

property Automation: TdxAutomationElementSettings read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxAutomationElementSettings	Stores UI Automation node settings.

Remarks

The parent status bar control maps each panel to a node in the UI Automation tree when the global UI Automation flag (dxUIAutomationEnabled) is enabled.

Use the Automation property to configure the UIA node that corresponds to the status bar panel.

Available Options

The Text property^[1] 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 panel and retain the current label in the UI.

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

Refer to the TdxAutomationElementSettings class description for detailed information and code examples.

Footnotes

1. For text panels only. Other panel types do not have a predefined UIA node name.
