AccessibleObject Methods

The methods of the AccessibleObject class are listed below. For a complete list of AccessibleObject class members, see the AccessibleObject Members topic.

Public:

DoDefaultAction Performs the default action associated with this accessible object.
Equals (inherited from Object) Determines whether the specified Object is the same instance as the current Object. Subclasses are expected to override this method to support value equality (not reference equality).
GetChild Given a zero-based index, returns an accessible child corresponding to that index. This function does nothing by default. If accessible objects want to provide custom accessible children, then this function should be overridden. If the index is invalid, then the function should return null. If this function is overridden, then GetChildCount() should also be overridden.
GetChildCount Retrieves the number of children belonging to an accessible object. All objects must support this property.

This function does nothing by default. If accessible objects want to provide custom accessible children, then this function should be overridden. If this function is overridden, then GetChild(int index) should also be overridden.

GetFocused Retrieves the object that has the keyboard focus. All objects that can receive the keyboard focus must support this property.

Returns the currently focused child, if any. Returns this if the object itself is focused.

GetHashCode (inherited from Object) Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetHelpTopic Returns an identifier for a help file topic and the path to the help file associated with this accessible object. This value is used as the context identifier of the desired topic that will be passed to the Win32 function WinHelp.
GetSelected Returns the currently selected child, if any. Returns this if the object itself is selected.
GetType (inherited from Object) Gets the Type of the Object.
HitTest Return the child object at the given screen coordinates.
Navigate When overriding in a derived class, navigates to another object.
NotifyClients Notify accessibility clients that an Accessible event has occurred.
Select Selects this accessible object.
ToString (inherited from Object) Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Protected:

Finalize (inherited from Object) Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by the Garbage Collector (GC). This method may be ignored by the runtime; therefore, necessary cleanup operations should be done elsewhere.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
