TdxAutomationElementSettings.NamedBy Property

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

Declaration

property NamedBy: TControl read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TControl	The source of the UI Automation tree node name. If the assigned control does not have an explicitly defined UIA node name, the control’s Caption property value serves as the node name.

Remarks

A control’s Caption serves as the default name for the corresponding node in the UI Automation tree.

Note

If a control displays no caption (like TdxNavBarOfficeNavigationBar), the default UIA node is defined in a resource string. Refer to individual control/UI element class descriptions for details.

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

Name and NamedBy Property Interaction

The Name property has priority over NamedBy. If the Name property is explicitly specified, the NamedBy property has no effect.

Default Value

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