[IronPython] UI Automation and ControlTypeProperty

[Shri Borde]

UI Automation did have a problem with IronPython. See http://blogs.msdn.com/shrib/archive/2008/03/24/ironpython-cannot-call-automationelement-fromhandle.aspx. I am not sure if the issue has been fixed yet by the UI Automation team. Or if you are running into that same issue or something else.

Thanks,
Shri

Subject: [IronPython] UI Automation and ControlTypeProperty

Hi,

I was reading the article on UI automation in MSDN (http://
msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163288.aspx) and decided to use
IronPython to control the example.

Unfortunately, I found that finding elements based on type doesn't
work. The example application has 1 button on the form. If I type the
following code I get an AutomationElement object:
form.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Calculate"))

But with the following code, I get None returned:
form.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty,
ControlType.Button))

The C# code that accompanies the article successfully uses the FindAll
with AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty. Is this a known issue in
IronPython? I'm using IronPython 1.1.1. Is this fixed in 2.0?

TIA,
-- Marcel
