Exposes properties and methods of a cache request. Client applications use this interface to specify the properties and control patterns to be cached when a Microsoft UI Automation element is obtained.
Inheritance
The IUIAutomationCacheRequest interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IUIAutomationCacheRequest also has these types of members:
Methods
The IUIAutomationCacheRequest interface has these methods.
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::AddPattern Adds a control pattern to the cache request. |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::AddProperty Adds a property to the cache request. |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::Clone Creates a copy of the cache request. |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::get_AutomationElementMode Indicates whether returned elements contain full references to the underlying UI, or only cached information. (Get) |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::get_TreeFilter Specifies the view of the UI Automation element tree that is used when caching. (Get) |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::get_TreeScope Specifies the scope of caching. (Get) |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::put_AutomationElementMode Indicates whether returned elements contain full references to the underlying UI, or only cached information. (Put) |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::put_TreeFilter Specifies the view of the UI Automation element tree that is used when caching. (Put) |
| IUIAutomationCacheRequest::put_TreeScope Specifies the scope of caching. (Put) |
Remarks
Retrieving properties and control patterns through UI Automation requires cross-process calls that can slow down performance. By caching values of proprieties and control patterns in a batch operation, you can enhance the performance of your application.
Create a new cache request by calling CreateCacheRequest, and configure the request by calling methods of IUIAutomationCacheRequest.
