I tried inspect32.exe in my WIN7 system, in Desktop, it can retrieve all focus event and show the Detail( eg Name, Role).
But when I get into explorer ( eg. C:\ ), the File List focus change can not be tracked by inspect32.exe.
Not all win7 system has this problem, so I guess some "MSAA" or "UIA" component is missing.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks very much!
I download MSAA 2.0 RDK, but can not be installed in WIN7.
Hi Experts,
I am writing an .Net Windows Application for an automation job, which would send some Key Strokes to a third party application and Login to it. But when I check the window of the third Party Application using Spy++ , i could see that the Text Boxes don't have any Caption Name and both the Tex Boxes have the same Class Name.
In this scenario, how i can distinguish between the two Text Boxes and send the Key strokes.
Let me know your thoughts

Hi Experts,
I am trying to develop a .Net Application for automation which is able to login to a third party application and perform a set of jobs which is currently performed manually
I am facing some Issues with the code i have written and need your Expert help.
Below is the Link to the code in OneDrive
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1f0b0affb1fd6044&id=1F0B0AFFB1FD6044%213197&ithint=file,zip&authkey=!AN6nBhsF9UX6nqg
1. When i run the Application, it breaks at the below line of code with Object reference Error
DicControl.Add("Password", sTextBoxControlList.Item(0).childHandle)
DicControl.Add("UserName", sTextBoxControlList.Item(1).childHandle)
DicControl.Add("Login", sLogin.Item(0).childHandle)this is because sTexBoxControlList is empty.
The Weird part is when i debug the Code thru visual studio it passes thru the code with out any issue
2. I am trying to send some keys to the Handle to try to login but this is not working.
' Set Control to Password
NativeWin32.SetFocus(DicControl("Password"))
SendKeys.SendWait(Password)
NativeWin32.SetFocus(DicControl("Login"))
SendKeys.SendWait("{ENTER}")Can you please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to figure out what item (for example document, web page tab, window, picture, folder) the user has clicked on. I started by using the following code when I detect a global left mouse click:
System.Drawing.Point MousePoint = System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position; AutomationElement AutomationElement = AutomationElement.FromPoint(new System.Windows.Point(MousePoint.X, MousePoint.Y)); Console.WriteLine(AutomationElement.Current.Name);
This seems to work well in most conditions. However, I need to (if possible) get names of documents/images/folders inside Windows Explorer for example. The value returned when I click a document in the right hand pane of Windows Explorer (not the tree view)
is "Name". Is there anyway to get the actual document name? For some reason, clicking sub-folders in the tree view returns the name of the folder, which is what I want.
I also notice that the code seems to display the document/image/folder name when clicked if the Windows Explorer view is set to icons (medium, large or extra large). Is there any reason why other views return "Name" or empty string while medium, large and extra large icons return the actual document/image/folder name? Is it to do with the size of the object clicked? I could really do with a way round this if possible?
I apologise, I am new to UI Automation and just really want a way to find the name of the object (file, folder, document, picture, web page tab etc.) that the user has clicked on. Any help anyone could give would be great.
Hi team,
is it possible to let win7/8 mount a network storage automatically when they receive a command?
we would like to create an application to control win7/8 to mount a network storage that user needs.
the process is our application will send commands to win7/8, and win7/8 will mount a network storage that user appoints.
Thanks,
Derek
Hi,
I have my own custom UIAutomation Clientside provider for automating a control.
In that provider code, I have the below code -
public static ClientSideProviderDescription[] ClientSideProviderDescriptionTable =
{
new ClientSideProviderDescription(new ClientSideProviderFactoryCallback(TimeControl.Create), "ATL:1004F9A0")
};The above code works fine. But the classname of my control keeps changing. So, I modified the code as shown below -
public static ClientSideProviderDescription[] ClientSideProviderDescriptionTable =
{
new ClientSideProviderDescription(new ClientSideProviderFactoryCallback(TimeControl.Create), "ATL:", "MyExe.exe", ClientSideProviderMatchIndicator.AllowSubstringMatch)
};This is not working. Can anyone help me what I am doing wrong here?

What is the best way to implement accessibility for the MFC ribbon controls. I am trying to set up a provider/server type app written in MFC that has a ribbon tool bar with many ribbons and menu's.
It seems as though a screen reader cannot read the text for a button by default like the articles seem to indicate. Trying to implement the UI Automation provider interface did not succeed because of the message handling... so what is the best way?
Can you point me to an article or multiple articles with examples that will help?
or is this a known issue, that the ribbon is not fully functional for accessibility when written using MFC?
I have tried the sample app and it has the same issue of not announcing the text when tabbing through the buttons with a screen reader.
Using VS2013
Thank you!
Dear Xbox,
We friends, Mason, Nick, Graham, and Cade, all like to play video games frequently. But we have found a very disappointing problem in Xbox. When Mason started playing Xbox, he had a lot of problems playing one handed. Cerebral Palsy has affected one of his hands, so he cannot use it very easily. Sadly, there are no one-handed controllers for people who cannot use one hand. How is this a problem? Well, there are some people who would potentially enjoy the Xbox’s game, who are restricted, or only have one hand. It is odd that there is no option for these people, considering that there are is such a large group.
As mentioned in the beginning, there haven’t been any handicap controllers. There are some known solutions like modding a controller or having one specially made, but that shouldn't be necessary. Because he is disabled, he shouldn’t have to pay extra for a controller to play Xbox. We have found that a lot of people are affected by Cerebral Palsy. On a health website, it says , “In the United States, about Every hour, another child is born with Cerebral Palsy (CP).Globally, over 17 million people have Cerebral Palsy.1 in 500 babies is diagnosed with Cerebral palsy.” ("Cerebral Palsy: Get Facts on Symptoms."). Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they shouldn’t be able to play video games like others. So you can know more about cerebral palsy, a hospital website shows what it is: “Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is caused by an insult to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth.”("Cerebral Palsy.") Many people, like Mason, have this disorder in their hand. This would completely disable them from using a one handed controller, segregating a large group of people.
We have a solution though. We designed a prototype of a one-handed controller option for those who cannot use a two-handed controller. Of course, small changes could be made to the controller, but working with someone who would use a one-handed controller, we believe we have found what the user would most like. This could also be a good opportunity to make more income by advertising something that works for a large group of people who do not have any good and affordable way to play video games.
Thank you for your time,
Mason, Graham, Cade, Nick,

Attached image we are using standard windows open file dialog. We
would like to achieve constant MSAA name for controls on this dialog independent
of the OS language to minimize Test automation effort.
Since it is a standard dialog we do not have access to its controls.
How to set constant name to maintain MSAA name to access this dialog. (or) How to get unique id from the FileName textbox OS independent name
Appreciate your response on the same.

I want to know how to learn win32 use C++,,,,,,,,,,, very confused. I don't know where to learn, do you have the chinese document?
Hi,
I want to implement an Automation tool, which will automate the test using UI.
I am implementing it using WPF,C# and using AutomationElement I have implemented the Pattern for the controls.
I am stuck at "How to Drag and Drop a AutomationElement object" using pattern or by using Mouse operation.
Here I do not want to access Coded UI Drag and Drop mechanism.
1) Please provide me some guidlines so that I can get some idea.
2) I have implemented following class for Drag and Drop.
The problem I am facing is that I am able to drag the element but the drop is too fast, so that
MouseDown cannot hold the object and only move the cursur.
Please take a look at the following code,
using System;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;using System.Threading;namespace TestRunEngine.Controls.Control { public class MouseOperations { [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern void mouse_event(uint dwFlags, uint dx, uint dy, uint cButtons, UIntPtr dwExtraInfo); private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x0002; private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x0004; private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = 0x0008; private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = 0x0010; private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = 0x8000; private const uint MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = 0x0001; [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] static extern bool SetCursorPos(uint x, uint y); public static void PerformClick(uint x, uint y) { SetCursorPos(x, y); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); Thread.Sleep(100); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); } public static void PerformRightClick(uint x, uint y) { SetCursorPos(x, y); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); Thread.Sleep(100); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); } public static void PerformDoubleClick(uint x, uint y) { PerformClick(x, y); Thread.Sleep(250); PerformClick(x, y); } public static void PerformDrag(uint x, uint y) { SetCursorPos(x, y); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN , x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); Thread.Sleep(1000); } public static void PerformDrop(uint x, uint y) { Thread.Sleep(250); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); SetCursorPos(x, y); mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, x, y, 0, UIntPtr.Zero); } } }

I am trying to figure out a way to log user drag and drop actions across the entire Windows desktop. I've found various mouse hooks which detect what has been clicked and the Windows UI Automation which also helps with this. I wondered if anybody knew any way to log drag and drop events on Windows? At the moment I can detect drags by monitoring the mouse down, move, then up but I believe the key is to actually determine whether the item has been dropped into another object. This has been an ongoing issue for some weeks now and so I could really do with some help pointers on whether this is actually possible and how difficult it is going to be. As I say, I've exhausted many avenues to try and get it working but although I can detect what was dragged (sometimes - due to Windows UI Automation ambiguous names) I cannot determine if it was dropped onto anything and is therefore a drag and drop action?
Many thanks,
Jonathan
