Re: [Pywinauto-users] pywinauto with a .NET application using WindowsForms

[Vasily V. R. <vas...@gm...>]

     Hello Jason,

pywinauto doesn't support all .NET controls. Probably you need
IronPython<http://ironpython.codeplex.com/>for .NET automation.

You can see few examples here:
http://gui-at.blogspot.com/search/label/guiat (see
posts "Building the framework (1)-(3)").
Analogue of pywinauto can be developed using described approach. But it
seems no one did it.

Also you may have some problems with connection to already running
application because the framework runs a main form in another thread of the
same process as the test script. This
approach<http://www.codingthewheel.com/archives/how-to-inject-a-managed-assembly-dll>may
help to implement such functionality in separate processes.

Best regards,
-Vasily.
