I'm looking for the ways to improve performance of finding text on focused AutomationElement (point). I already have code like this. It uses UIAComWrapper and pretty slow.
public static string GetValueFromNativeElementFromPoint(Point p)
{
var element = UIAComWrapper::System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement.FromPoint(p);
var pattern =
((UIAComWrapper::System.Windows.Automation.LegacyIAccessiblePattern)
element.GetCurrentPattern(UIAComWrapper::System.Windows.Automation.LegacyIAccessiblePattern.Pattern));
return pattern.Current.Value;
}
Found solution. 2 seconds vs 7 seconds using UIAComWrapper.
public static string GetValueFromNativeElementFromPoint2(Point p)
{
var element = AutomationElement.FromPoint(p);
object patternObj;
if (element.TryGetCurrentPattern(ValuePattern.Pattern, out patternObj))
{
var valuePattern = (ValuePattern) patternObj;
return valuePattern.Current.Value;
}
return null;
}
