Remarks
Control and Content Views are subsets of an entire UI Automation tree (Raw View) designed to limit UI element visibility to third-party assistive tools depending on usage scenarios.
Control View
The control view includes all interactive UI elements (buttons, editor boxes, and other elements that can accept input focus) and visual elements that form the logical structure of the UI (headers, toolbars, menus, etc.). The control view does not include decorative non-interactive UI elements.
The UI control type (terminal class) defines whether a DevExpress UI control/UI element is initially included in the control view. You can set the IsControlElement property to bTrue or bFalse to explicitly include/exclude the control/UI element to/from the control view of the UI Automation tree.
Content View
The content view is a subset of the control view. The content view is designed to include only the UI elements that display meaningful information in a user interface, including UI elements that can receive focus. For example, the content view lists all drop-down menu item values because users can select them.
The UI control type (terminal class) defines whether a DevExpress UI control/UI element is initially included in the content view. You can set the IsContentElement property to bTrue or bFalse to explicitly include/exclude the control/UI element to/from the content view of the UI Automation tree.
