问题
I'm trying to automate a foreign OSX application using the accessibility API. Some of the state of the application isn't available through the API, so I acquire it through screen scraping. To do this, I need to get CGWindowID for an accessibility object with a 'Window Role'.
Is there any direct way of acquiring CGWindowID of a 'Window Role' accessibility object? I can get it heuristically, by matching various attributes of the window, such as the size, title and location, but this is really hacky, and I'd feel better if my application would also support the corner cases, even if they are unlikely.
回答1:
There’s no way to do that; the accessibility hierarchy is completely decoupled from the actual window/view hierarchy. I think your matching will work best.
回答2:
There is a function from at least Leopard and up (and still around as of 10.7.3):
extern "C" AXError _AXUIElementGetWindow(AXUIElementRef, CGWindowID* out);
Usual caveats about using something like this apply though. It may change as soon as the next OS update!
