Once you have selected a UI element using Inspect , you can validate that the element exposes the correct Windows Automation navigation for assistive technology products. The Navigation menu options and navigation toolbar buttons change depending on where the selected element is in the tree.

Windows Automation exposes methods that allow assistive technology products to interact with a UI element as if the mouse or keyboard were being used for example, to click a button. The Inspect Action menu lets testers invoke Windows Automation methods on an element for example, Invoke.

In UI Automation mode, the other items reflect the control patterns supported by the currently selected UI element. In MSAA mode, the other items always consist of the following:.

Many of the menu items can be invoked with a keyboard shortcut even when Inspect is not the active application. Note however, that the shortcut keys conflict with some applications.

You can copy the executable locally in the machine and run the tool. The Windows SDK contains documentation, samples, headers, libraries, and tools designed to help you develop Windows applications.

Not sure what to do now relative to UISpy. However, when I try to run it I get the little error dialog saying "UISpy has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This seems dumb. What's the point of a web installer, if it doesn't check dependencies and either fix them or report them? Why doesn't UISpy notice that it's unable to load dependencies, and say so? View the properties of selected windows , threads , processes , or messages.

Use the Finder Tool to select a window by mouse pointer positioning. Set message option by using complex message log selection parameters. It also provides a Refresh command to update the active view, a Window Finder Tool to make spying easier, and a Font dialog box to customize view windows.

Which commands are displayed depends on where the pointer is. For example, if you right-click an entry in the Window view and the selected window is visible, then clicking Highlight on the shortcut menu causes the border of the selected window to flash so that it can be located more easily. One reason may be a high resolution screen where the scaling as default is set to eg. Another reason may be a normal screen where the scaling manually is set to eg.

In the first case, a correct drawing of the rectangle may depend on whether or not the target application is DPI aware. In the last case, the rectangle will probably always be mistakenly drawn. On Windows 7 the element rectangle is still drawn correct even if the scaling is set to eg. Because there are many different situations it's tricky to handle the screen scaling properly. LarsJ Your tools just help me to solve one problem. I can take this subtask as a my part of contribution to your project, if you would accept this offer.

Is there a way to use this Tool to search for a specyfic word in this entire structure? So I thought about new feature: Could you add an additional option "Update all chlids of elements after X seconds" where X should be each time indicated by user? Question 1 "Copy structure to clipboard" does not calculate the element subtree. The procedure to copy the entire subtree structure to clipboard is right click the treeview item : 1.

Update all childs of element 2. Copy structure to clipboard. Question 2 I rarely use the XML format. Usually you can do the same with a plain text file, and with much faster code. But if you'll write the code and it's not too slow, I'll add it to the zip-file in first post. Question 4 Show structure in listview. This is intentional. It takes some time to calculate the structure of a subtree with elements or more. The calculation is complete when the structure appears in the listview.

Perhaps you only need a single or a few rows in the structure. You can select these rows in the listview and use "Copy all or selected items to clipboard" in the "Right pane" main menu to copy only those few rows.

Question 7 Use the function keys to handle a menu. Open Notepad. Click File menu. Place mouse cursor over first menu item. Press F1. Press F2. Switch to UIASpy. Question 5 Move example to "Projects and collaboration" forum.

I think such an example is too small for "Projects and collaboration". But a more general topic, eg. This can include a discussion of a spy tool. First of all, an update of the code in CUIAutomation2. To support Windows 8 and Windows 10 probably 50 - new interfaces, methods, properties and constants are added which are not included in CUIAutomation2. LarsJ Thanks for all your answers. I know this is not thread for teaching how to use UIA at all. Could you create few next screenshot which will shows how to get structur for "Edit1" , "FileName" and "SaveButton".

Then would you create an AU3 example to show how to use this information to create a simple script to fill up "Edit1" with HelloWorld, click "Save As It could then be considered a complementary example of how to use UIASpy to create a simple notepad automation. Regarding cuiautomation2. So far i only needed a very small subset but willing to enhance if there is urgent need.
