I have developed a c# wake on lan application to turn on the computers in network and it work fine in same subnet.
BUT I am not able to turn on the pcs connected to a different subnet.
Can you suggest any better solutions for this.
Thanks in advance.
Hi team,
I need to zip the oldest directory from the source directory and after zipping process completes I have to paste the newly zip file to the new destination folder and then delete source directory.
Please find the image for reference.
Here we need to zip the oldest folder "201879" and then paste the zip folder "201879.zip" in the new destination and then delete the folder "201879" from source.
Please suggest a batch file for the whole process.
I'm trying to develop library that allows testing application's user interface using microsoft unmanaged UIAutomation API. I'm having hard time with resolving an implementation problem regarding accessing elements from another threads such as event handlers. I'm using interop dll to access UIAutomation, so API initialization looks like this:
static public IUIAutomation automation = new CUIAutomation();
For example: I'm subscribing to window opened event :
automation.AddAutomationEventHandler(UIA_EventIds.UIA_Window_WindowOpenedEventId, automation.GetRootElement(),
TreeScope.TreeScope_Subtree, null, this);
then as I am invoking button in some random WinForms application that opens dialog window I get inside the
HandleAutomationEvent(IUIAutomationElement sender, int eventId)
where I would like to access "YES" button in dialog from using
sender.FindFirst(tree,MyClass.automation.CreatePropertyCondition(UIA_PropertyIds.UIA_NamePropertyId, "YES"));
The search takes ages since it can't access COM object from Single-Threaded Apartment. I cant get the approach from microsoft documentation to work:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/winauto/uiauto-threading
I've tried subscribing to events from another threads, as well as calling element access functions such as `FindAll` or `FindFirst` from another threads with `[MTAThread]` attribute but I can't get anything to work - the effect is still the same. I wonder if
there an option where the elements would be contained in MTA, even when not thread-safe. I am a total begginer when it comes to C#,WinForms and COM Objects so I would appreciate every bit of information that could help.
Hello,
Could you please help me to figure out the cause of problem related to
UIAutomation.
The problem consists in impossibility to invoke (click) button in UI application (on some PC’s it works fine on some – not).
I was able to find that this problem is actual only for DevExpress-buttons.
When my utility is looking for a control (through Microsoft's UI Automation), in PC’s, where problem occurs, button is recognized as
ControlType.Pane (instead of ControlType.Button) and when we are trying to invoke such control,InvalidOperationException-is thrown (with Unsupported Pattern-message) asPane doesn’t support such kind of pattern.
In source code problem is in this part:
AutomationElement rootElement = AutomationElement.RootElement;
if (rootElement != null)
{
Condition condition = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, <main window name>);
AutomationElement appElement = rootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, condition);
if (appElement != null)
{
AutomationElement uiAutoElement = appElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, <button name to invoke>)); // in some PC's, control type is as expected - button, in some PC's - pane.
If I use Inspect.exe, to check control type, there is shown 'button' and it could be invoked from Inspect.
Hello All,
The below are the problems we have
Is it possible to Sign in into Microsoft account using script? (We have test account for signing in).
Could you please let me know if we can achieve the same using windows automation?
Thanks, Ajay
I am developing an windows application in c# to turn on the PC in my LAN using AMT commands. Can any one suggest me a proper way to do it or provide any code for it.
Thanks in advance.
For some performance reason, I am doing searches in the accessibility tree using C++ unmanaged UIA API. However most of our other functions take Managed AutomationElement in .NET for other processing. I do not want to re-write all of them due to various reasons including time.
Is there a way to convert unmanaged IUIAutomationElement* to managed AutomationElement in .NET?
Hi all,
the IAccessible::get_accChild function is essentially declared like this in the C++ interface:
HRESULT get_accChild(VARIANT varChild, IDispatch **ppdispChild)
The parameter varChild describes the child whose interface the client wants, and I have read many times that it can be CHILDID_SELF, or something else. But what is the "something"? Is it the tab index, based at 1 (because CHILDID_SELF is 0)? Is
it a child window's control ID? Can it be negative? (Is it always a LONG value, or can it be some other type?)
The inspect.exe tool reveals the "AutomationId" and the "LegacyIAccessible.ChildId" properties which sometimes (but not always) have the same value. How is this value defined? IAccessible does not have a method like get_ChildId.
How is the order defined in which an automation client like inspect.exe retrieves children of an accessible object? I am asking because inspect.exe displays children in different order than what I would like to see.
All these question refer to a native C++/MFC test project which I created to explore MSAA, which is a simplification of a real situation which should become automation-enabled. (I have several more questions but not before these simple ones are answered.)
The code is available on
OneDrive.
Thanks for your help...

Now that I have explored MSAA for a while, I am trying to dive into UIAutomation. Unfortunately there is not so much information around, and native C++ examples are rare. I am working on the server (provider) side only because the client will be a 3rd party automatic test tool.
I have come to the following assumptions and questions and I would appreciate any comment on these.
IRawElementProviderSimple.Please keep in mind that I am working with native (unmanaged) C++, with MFC and STL support. My mission is to understand UIA, not to find the best-of-all implementation. My scenario is a control in a dialog (implemented as a CWnd-derived class) that has in internal structure which I want to make UIA accessible.
Thanks a lot

I am working on a automation testing project. I want to create a command which will simulate a "select menu item" behavior. This should select a menu item from another application's window.
List of such commands is like a automation script to me [when replayed, all the commands execute in sequence]
For example, list of commands will be like:
1. Run a program [Start Process command]
2. Select a file menu [Click Mouse command]
3. Select File->menu item [Command yet to be written]
4. Select File->menu item->sub menu item [Command yet to be written]
I already have "Click Mouse" command. In this command configuration, I have a control locator by which I can locate the menu from another application. After locating that menu, it saves control information of that menu which will be helpful when script is replayed. [Which will automatically select menu]
However, I can not select menu items and/or sub menu items using control locator of "Click Mouse" command.
So, is there a way [maybe using windows API, I am not sure], to save the information of submenu items, and select that menu item while replaying the script.
Thank you in advance!
Hello,
Here is my requirement:
1. Simulate right click on specific screen coordinates. It will open a contextual menu like below.
2. Click/Select contextual menu item [For example, item "Evaluate" in above image] by its name automatically.
I have fulfilled 1st requirement. Now, I want finish second one.
Could you please tell me how can I achieve this?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Sir,
In Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Tablet PC Settings > Set tablet buttons to perform certain tasks.
There is error popup message but we really install button drivers on the system. There are 3 buttons on the tablet. (Power button, volume up and volume down). "Set tablet buttons to perform certain tasks" looks to launch Apps by buttons but how to do that? Is there any documents or reference link describes how to do that?
Thanks.

Hello
I am working on a Automation Project. I have a requirement to trace the elements on which I focused the mouse.
Here is a Start() method to start listening the AutomationFocusChangedEvent:
public void Start()
{
//check if we are tracing
if (_isFocusTracing == true)
throw new InvalidOperationException("cannot call StartFocusTracing mutliple times");
using (new WaitCursor())
{
try
{
//set the event handler
Automation.AddAutomationFocusChangedEventHandler(new AutomationFocusChangedEventHandler(OnAutomationFocusChanged));
_isFocusTracing = true;
OnStartFocusTracing();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ApplicationLogger.LogException(ex);
_isFocusTracing = false;
}
}
}And here is a handler method for AutomationFocusChangedEvent:
private void OnAutomationFocusChanged(object src, AutomationFocusChangedEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("OnAutomationFocusChanged ...");
OnAutomationFocusChanged((AutomationElement)src);
}The problem with the above code is that, the handler method OnAutomationFocusChangedis only called for the first element that I focused. For further focused elements, handler method is not called. That means, this method is calling only once. [Here, I am focusing the elements from external Windows application]
Could you please tell me where I am going wrong in this case?
Thank you in advance!
My application requires uiAccess=true in manifest file and becomes digitally signed during post build event.
<requestedPrivilegesxmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"><requestedExecutionLevellevel="asInvoker"uiAccess="true"/></requestedPrivileges>
When I try to run my application from the debugger with VS2008 or VS2010 I get the following error:
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program [Application].
The application manifest has the uiAccess attribute set to 'true'.
Running an Accessibility application requires following the steps
described in Help.
[OK] [Help]
But the help button is redirecting me to a "Page not found"-Website.
Is it even possible to debug an application with uiAccess=true ?
