IUIAutomationEventHandlerGroup::AddAutomationEventHandler method (uiautomationclient.h)

Important  UI Automation clients should use the handler group methods to register event listeners instead of individual event registration methods defined in the various IUIAutomation namespaces.

  [in] IUIAutomationCacheRequest *cacheRequest,
  [in] IUIAutomationEventHandler *handler
);
