Not able to identify controls of Visual Studio using Info tool

[VivekDev]

Hi Friends,

                   I am automating few tasks in Visual Studio 2017 community using autoitv3

(eg) Run visual studio, open project, click on file menu and etc

when trying to identify buttons or menus using Autoit info tool, no id's are generated, is there any way to getids or approach.

Thanks in advance

Good morning @VivekDev, and welcome to the AutoIt forum
What approach are you trying to do? Post some code you are working on

can’t use standard autoit on Xaml forms apps. IUIAutomation is your best bet

and why can’t you just use the command line to build. automating anything other than builds doesn't make much sense. that can all be done using devenv.exe command line or MSBUILD
