The following example function declares and populates a structure that contains identifiers for two properties, a pattern, and a control type.

struct UiaIdentifiers
{
    PROPERTYID NameProperty;
    PROPERTYID ControlTypeProperty;
    PATTERNID  InvokePattern;
    CONTROLTYPEID ButtonControlType;
} UiaIds;

void Provider::InitIds()
{
    static bool inited = false;
    if (!inited)
    {
        inited = true;
        UiaIds.NameProperty = UiaLookupId(AutomationIdentifierType_Property, &Name_Property_GUID);
        UiaIds.ControlTypeProperty = UiaLookupId(AutomationIdentifierType_Property, &ControlType_Property_GUID);
        UiaIds.InvokePattern = UiaLookupId(AutomationIdentifierType_Pattern, &Invoke_Pattern_GUID);
        UiaIds.ButtonControlType = UiaLookupId(AutomationIdentifierType_ControlType, &Button_Control_GUID);
    }
}
