Some controls on a page are not visible for MS UI Automation

阅读更多关于 Some controls on a page are not visible for MS UI Automation

问题 We have an application with StartPage.xaml, where control template for TabControl defines some grids and stack panels. There is an itemPresenter in that template in the middle of the xaml, and a stack panel below it. While it works fine for a user, MS UI automation can see only tab items inside the item presenter, and nothing else that is defined on the same level in the template. I tried to add standard button inside a stack panel which can not be seen by MS UIA to check if that is a problem

All the controls as HtmlRow do contain a constructor requesting as a parameter UITestControl.

问题 Given a very basic WinForms custom/user control, using System.Windows.Automation it is possible to manipulate built in properties for the custom control.

Is this possible? 回答1: No, you can't extend the list of properties,

How to manipulate a control without any pattern implemented?

阅读更多关于 How to manipulate a control without any pattern implemented?

I'm trying to implement the automation test via UIAutomation for our project. But lots of the controls are not standrad, and proper patterns are also not implemented for that controls.

I am trying to automate a third-party Win32 application where I want to capture the graphics content of a particular window at defined time intervals.

How can I do this? The window I want to capture is the one marked by the red rectangle in this
