UIAutomationMBS.AutoSetFocus 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

Specifies whether calls to UI Automation control pattern methods automatically set focus to the target element.

By default, most UI Automation methods that perform an action on an element, such as Invoke and SetValue, set focus to the element before performing the action. For most applications, setting the focus results in a more consistent user experience. In situations where setting the focus would be disruptive, such as automating a drop-down menu, you can set AutoSetFocus to FALSE to prevent UI Automation methods from setting the focus.
