UIAutomationElementMBS.CurrentIsPeripheral as Boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	UIAutomation	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	26.2	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Retrieves the current peripheral UI indicator for the element.

When the IsPeripheral property is TRUE, a client application can't assume that focus was taken by the element even if it's currently keyboard-interactive.

This property is relevant for these control types:

• ControlTypeIdGroup
• ControlTypeIdMenu
• ControlTypeIdPane
• ControlTypeIdToolBar
• ControlTypeIdToolTip
• ControlTypeIdWindow
• ControlTypeIdCustom

The appearance of peripheral UI often triggers one of these events, if the peripheral UI supports one of the relevant patterns:

WindowOpened (EventIdWindow_WindowOpened)
MenuOpened (EventIdMenuOpened)
ToolTipOpened (EventIdToolTipOpened)

When client applications that are assistive technologies handle one of these events, the client should check the value of CurrentIsPeripheral. If the value is TRUE, the client may need to provide an alternative representation of the peripheral UI that the user can reach with a single action, because the client can't use changed focus as an indicator of new UI or a UI of interest. The peripheral UI won't otherwise exist in the control view, tab sequence and so on. A client is guaranteed that only one peripheral UI item exists in the overall tree at any one time, opening another would close the first one automatically.
