TdxAutomationElementSettings.DescribedBy Property

Specifies an external source of the control/UI element description in the UI Automation tree.

Declaration

property DescribedBy: TControl read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TControl	The source of the UI Automation tree node description. The assigned control is ignored if it has no explicitly defined description in the UI Automation tree.

Remarks

A control’s Hint serves as the default description for the corresponding node in the UI Automation tree. A UIA node description is designed to store optional information on the corresponding control/UI element.

Use NamedBy and DescribedBy properties to specify external sources (TControl descendants) of UI Automation tree node name and description for the DevExpress control/UI element.

Note

The Description property has priority over DescribedBy. If the Description property is explicitly specified, the DescribedBy property has no effect.

Default Value

The DescribedBy property’s default value is nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder).
