ITextProvider.RangeFromChild(IRawElementProviderSimple) Method

Definition

Retrieves a text range enclosing a child element such as an image, hyperlink, or other embedded object.

public:
 System::Windows::Automation::Provider::ITextRangeProvider ^ RangeFromChild(System::Windows::Automation::Provider::IRawElementProviderSimple ^ childElement);
public System.Windows.Automation.Provider.ITextRangeProvider RangeFromChild (System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IRawElementProviderSimple childElement);
abstract member RangeFromChild : System.Windows.Automation.Provider.IRawElementProviderSimple -> System.Windows.Automation.Provider.ITextRangeProvider
Public Function RangeFromChild (childElement As IRawElementProviderSimple) As ITextRangeProvider

Parameters

childElement
IRawElementProviderSimple

The enclosed object.

Returns

A range that spans the child element.

Exceptions

If the child element is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

A UI Automation provider should check that the passed element is a child of the text container.

If there is no text in the range where the child element exists, a degenerate (empty) range is returned.

The childElement parameter is either a child of the AutomationElement associated with a TextPattern or from the array of children of a TextPatternRange.
