Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation.Peers.HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer

-description

Exposes HyperlinkButton types to Microsoft UI Automation.

-remarks

The Windows Runtime HyperlinkButton class creates a new HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer as its OnCreateAutomationPeer definition. Derive your automation peer from HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer if you are deriving a custom class from HyperlinkButton and want to add automation support for additional features that you enabled in your custom class. Then override OnCreateAutomationPeer so that it returns your custom peer.

Default peer implementation and overrides in HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer

HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer has overrides of Core methods such that the associated AutomationPeer methods provide peer-specific information to a Microsoft UI Automation client.

• GetPattern reports that the peer provides pattern support for PatternInterface.Invoke (IInvokeProvider).
• GetClassName returns "Hyperlink".
• GetAutomationControlType returns AutomationControlType.Hyperlink.
• IsControlElement returns true. This peer has the immediate base class ButtonBaseAutomationPeer and inherits its behavior other than the overrides indicated above. Notably, GetName returns a string value based on examining the current Content. For more info, see ButtonBaseAutomationPeer.

The peer also has other behaviors that are provided by the base FrameworkElementAutomationPeer class. For more info, see "Base implementation in FrameworkElementAutomationPeer" section of Custom automation peers.
