Utiliser la mise en cache dans UI Automation

Cette section montre comment implémenter la mise en cache des propriétés AutomationElement et des modèles de contrôle.

Activer une requête de Cache

1. Créer un CacheRequest.

2. Spécifiez les propriétés et les modèles à mettre en cache à l’aide de la méthode Add.

3. Spécifiez la portée de la mise en cache en définissant la propriété TreeScope .

4. Spécifiez l’affichage de la sous-arborescence en définissant la propriété TreeFilter .

5. Affectez à la propriété AutomationElementMode la valeur None si vous souhaitez augmenter l’efficacité en ne récupérant pas de référence complète aux objets. (Cela rend impossible la récupération des valeurs actuelles de ces objets.)

6. Activez la demande en utilisant Activate dans un bloc using (Using dans Microsoft Visual Basic .NET).

Après avoir obtenu des objets AutomationElement ou vous être inscrit à des événements, désactivez la requête en utilisant Pop (si Push a été utilisé) ou en supprimant l’objet créé par Activate. (Utilisez Activate dans un bloc using (Using dans Microsoft Visual Basic .NET).

Mettre en cache des propriétés AutomationElement

1. Lorsqu’un CacheRequest est actif, obtenez des objets AutomationElement en utilisant FindFirst ou FindAll, ou obtenez un AutomationElement comme source d’un événement pour lequel vous vous êtes inscrit lorsque le CacheRequest était actif. (Vous pouvez également créer un cache en passant un CacheRequest à GetUpdatedCache ou l’une des méthodes TreeWalker .)

2. Utilisez GetCachedPropertyValue ou récupérez une propriété de la propriété Cached de l’ AutomationElement.

Obtenir des modèles mis en cache et leurs propriétés

1. Lorsqu’un CacheRequest est actif, obtenez des objets AutomationElement en utilisant FindFirst ou FindAll, ou obtenez un AutomationElement comme source d’un événement pour lequel vous vous êtes inscrit lorsque le CacheRequest était actif. (Vous pouvez également créer un cache en passant un CacheRequest à GetUpdatedCache ou l’une des méthodes TreeWalker .)

2. Utilisez GetCachedPattern ou TryGetCachedPattern pour récupérer un modèle mis en cache.

3. Récupérez les valeurs de propriété de la propriété Cached du modèle de contrôle.

L’exemple de code suivant présente différents aspects de la mise en cache, en utilisant Activate pour activer le CacheRequest.

private void CachePropertiesByActivate(AutomationElement elementList)
{
    AutomationElement elementListItem;

    // Set up the request.
    CacheRequest cacheRequest = new CacheRequest();
    cacheRequest.Add(AutomationElement.NameProperty);
    cacheRequest.Add(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty);

    catch (InvalidOperationException)

        Console.WriteLine("Object was not in cache.");
        return;

    // Alternatively, you can use TryGetCachedPattern to retrieve the cached pattern.
    object cachedPattern;
    if (true == elementListItem.TryGetCachedPattern(SelectionItemPattern.Pattern, out cachedPattern))
    {
        pattern = cachedPattern as SelectionItemPattern;
    }

    // Specified pattern properties are also in the cache.
    AutomationElement parentList = pattern.Cached.SelectionContainer;

    // The following line will raise an exception, because the HelpText property was not cached.
    /*** String itemHelp = elementListItem.Cached.HelpText; ***/

    // Similarly, pattern properties that were not specified in the CacheRequest cannot be
    // retrieved from the cache. This would raise an exception.
    /*** bool selected = pattern.Cached.IsSelected; ***/

    // This is still a valid call, even though the property is in the cache.
    // Of course, the cached value and the current value are not guaranteed to be the same.
    itemName = elementListItem.Current.Name;
