After trying out several solutions, I am in desperate need for help. I tried several approaches, before finally copying and still being stuck with the solution from Getting full contents of a Datagrid using UIAutomation . Let's talk code, please consider the comments: // Get Process ID for desired window handle uint processID = 0; GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out processID); var desktop = AutomationElement.RootElement; // Find AutomationElement for the App's window var bw = AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty,

In C# or else VB.Net , how I could use Microsoft UI Automation to retrieve the text of any control that contains text?. I've been researching in the MSDN Docs, but I don't get it.

While working on automating an Infragistics UltraTree control in a C# Winforms application I found that the UltraTree implemented the AccessibleObject model (MSAA). I was able to successfully grab the IAccessible interface by putting the hwnd grabbed from spy++ into IAccessible* accessibleObject; AccessibleObjectFromWindow(hwnd, OBJID_CLIENT, IID_IAccessible, (void**)&accessibleObj); The problem is that when I now call long childCount; accessibleObj->get_accChildCount(&childCount); The result that I get back is zero. From looking at the UltraTree source code I noticed that its implementation

Any ideas what went wrong? On rare occasions I've found that the Find* calls don't find all automation objects. The only consistent case I've seen with

I have a C# application, which uses Microsoft UI Automation functionality, e. g. a call like AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(...) . Now I need to do the same thing (use MS UI Automation) in Delphi 2009. How can I a) declare that my Delphi code uses MS UI Automation library and b) make calls like AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(...) ? There are several tutorials ( tutorial 1 , tutorial 2 ) explaining how to package one's own .NET code so that it can be used with Delphi, but in my case I need to use "pre-packaged" (already installed) assembly in Delphi. Update 1 Now I can get
