Remarks

To access the properties of a UITestControl, for example to get the count of items in a list, or to set the text on a button, you must use GetProperty and SetProperty to get and set the specific properties of the UITestControl. The propertyName parameter specifies the property to access.

To change the text on a WinButton, use SetProperty together with the parameter DisplayText, followed by the new text for the button.
