You an find with the simple spy all the objects (same result as with ranorex spy) and highlight them

However same as for Ranorex spy I cannot reveal any usefull text or other property to usefull check.

With the link given you can identify the object by its index

I played a little with QT and QWidgets by installing the IDE QT Creator

• When I use sample calqlatr and compile that its initially not accessible

 

• only when I add code like

//! [button]
    Accessible.name: text
    Accessible.description: "This button does " + text
    Accessible.role: Accessible.Button
    function accessiblePressAction() {
        button.clicked()
    }
    //! [button]

To a button.qml file those buttons become accessible and recognizable by spy tools

• So unfortunately it seems that developers that use QT but are not adding 
  accessible.  ......   to their controls
  the QT application will not expose much by default
   
• a QT Developer should read more on this 
  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/accessible.html

So whenever you encounter an application like that send the developer above link to reconsider just add minimally one line

Accessible.name : text // or hardcoded string "myname" when there is no variable text available

Thank you Junkew!

I'm wondering, do you have any new experiences with automating QT?

I am trying the same thing, and with accessibility enabled (i have confirmed that qtaccessiblewidgets.dll is linked) i can see using Ranorex Spy that field such as "Role", "Name" and "Class" are updated. (fields in the "Element" window)

Caption/text or Control Id (field in the "Control" window) however are not updated. Clicking a button using the "Element" field should work, but I'm worried about reading out a certain text value from a Qlabel as the "Value" field is not updated.

Do you (or anyone else) have any experience with reading out values (instead of just clicking buttons)?

Thanks!

What is the simple spy of the iuiautomation thread giving. It reads allmost all properties that are readable. Could be that your needed value is in another property.

I have never worked further with QTWidgets besides above finding out how it works and as it seems only accessible when developer takes accessibility into consideration.

Nothing I do lets me interact with controls on TeamSpeak 3 client. Can someone try it and see if there is a method which allows control interaction?

@kevinxauxa,

I have removed the attachment because:

• prashannaa hasn't been on our forums for 4 years!
• We don't want to trust any binary/executable posted by somebody that just joined. Nothing personal, just common sense.
