Choosing An Element From _UIA_getObjectByFindAll

[Debremus]

I'm trying to reference a particular frame, and all of the frames in the application have matching properties.  A DumpThemAll gets 3 elements with the following:

Title is: <> Class := <> controltype:= <UIA_TableControlTypeId> ,<50036> , (0000C374) , acceleratorkey:= <> , automationid:= <>

 

There is no way to uniquely reference the elements.  Is there any function to reference the 2nd or 3rd found element?

Try this:

_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oOBJ,"controltype:=" & $UIA_TableControlTypeId & ";indexrelative:=2", $treescope_subtree)

Index should do the job. Indexrelative is relative to the object found as first.

[Debremus]

This didn't work for me.  It searched the subtree for all elements for the property "indexrelative", but all elements showed indexrelative as being 0. 

 

Any ideas?

[Debremus]

Disregard, I came up with a solution based on DumpThemAll:

 

<code>

 

Func _UIA_GetElementNumber($oElementStart, $treeScope, $elementNum)
;~  Get result with findall function alternative could be the treewalker
    Local $pCondition, $pTrueCondition, $oCondition, $oAutomationElementArray
    Local $pElements, $iLength, $i
    local $dumpStr
    local $tStr

    $dumpStr="<treedump>"
    $dumpStr=$dumpStr & "<treeheader>***** Object Found At Position *****</treeheader>"
;~     _UIA_LOG("<treedump>"    & @CRLF)
;~     _UIA_LOG("***** Dumping tree *****" & @CRLF)

;~     $UIA_oUIAutomation.CreateTrueCondition($pTrueCondition)
;~     $oCondition=ObjCreateInterface($pTrueCondition, $sIID_IUIAutomationCondition,$dtagIUIAutomationCondition)

    $oElementStart.FindAll($treeScope, $UIA_oTRUECondition, $pElements)

    $oAutomationElementArray = ObjCreateInterface($pElements, $sIID_IUIAutomationElementArray, $dtagIUIAutomationElementArray)

;~     If there are no childs found then there is nothing to search
    If _UIA_IsElement($oAutomationElementArray) Then
;~ All elements to inspect are in this array
        $oAutomationElementArray.Length($iLength)
    Else
        $dumpStr=$dumpStr & "<fatal>***** FATAL:???? _UIA_DumpThemAll no childarray found ***** </fatal>"
;~         _UIA_LOG("***** FATAL:???? _UIA_DumpThemAll no childarray found *****" & @CRLF, $UIA_Log_Wrapper)
        $iLength = 0
    EndIf

        $oAutomationElementArray.GetElement($elementNum, $UIA_pUIElement)
        $UIA_oUIElement = ObjCreateInterface($UIA_pUIElement, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement)
        $tStr="Title is: <" & _UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_NamePropertyId) & ">" & @TAB _
                 & "Class   := <" & _UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId) & ">" & @TAB _
                 & "controltype:= " _
                 & "<" & _UIA_getControlName(_UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_ControlTypePropertyId)) & ">" & @TAB _
                 & ",<" & _UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_ControlTypePropertyId) & ">" & @TAB _
                 & ", (" & Hex(_UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_ControlTypePropertyId)) & ")" & @TAB _
                 & ", acceleratorkey:= <" & _UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_AcceleratorKeyPropertyId) & ">" & @TAB _
                 & ", automationid:= <" & _UIA_getPropertyValue($UIA_oUIElement, $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId) & ">" & @TAB
        $tstr=_UIA_EncodeHTMLString($tStr)
        return $UIA_oUIElement
        $dumpStr=$dumpStr & "<elementinfo>" & $tStr & "</elementinfo>"

;~         _UIA_LOG($tStr)

        $dumpStr=$dumpStr & "</treedump>"

    _UIA_LOG($dumpStr)

EndFunc

edit:  0 iindexed so third one = 2

_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oOBJ,"controltype:=table;instance:=2", $treescope_subtree)

In general it should be programmed like 

controltype:=Table;index:=2

or

controltype:=Table;instance:=2

Its in this piece of code happening of uiawrappers  and you should see it in the log that it skippes other instances

;~              Just reset found status and continue in the loop till the right one is found
                If $relIndex <> 0 Then
                    $matchCount = $matchCount + 1
                    If $matchCount <> $relIndex Then
                        $iMatch = 0
                        _UIA_LOG(" Found and skipped due to index position: <" & $relIndex & " " & $matchCount & " " & $tmpStr & @CRLF, $UIA_Log_Wrapper)
                    Else
                        $iMatch = 1
                    EndIf
                EndIf

other special properties are defined in the array as below

["indexrelative", $__UIA_SpecialProperty], _                                                ; Special propertyname
        ["index", $__UIA_SpecialProperty], _                                                        ; Special propertyname
        ["instance", $__UIA_SpecialProperty], _                                                     ; Special propertyname
        ["title", $UIA_NamePropertyId], _                                       ; Alternate propertyname
        ["text", $UIA_NamePropertyId], _                                        ; Alternate propertyname
        ["regexptitle", $UIA_NamePropertyId], _                                 ; Alternate propertyname
        ["class", $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId], _                                  ; Alternate propertyname
        ["regexpclass", $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId], _                            ; Alternate propertyname
        ["iaccessiblevalue", $UIA_LegacyIAccessibleValuePropertyId], _          ; Alternate propertyname
        ["iaccessiblechildId", $UIA_LegacyIAccessibleChildIdPropertyId], _      ; Alternate propertyname
        ["id", $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId], _                                  ; Alternate propertyname
        ["handle", $UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId], _                        ; Alternate propertyname
