Thanks for the responses!   I'll check these out.

     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,

We are in the process of coding QA automation for a Windows .NET application.  When I use the PrintControlIdentifiers,  I am seeing a lot of generic WindowsForms results.  I am not seeing menu's or other attributes that would show in a normal windows GUI...

'2' 'WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d3'
WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d - ''   (L162, T124, R359, B658)
    '3' 'WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d4'
WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d - ''   (L162, T124, R355, B389)
    '4' 'WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d5'
WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d - ''   (L162, T151, R355, B389)
    '5' 'WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d6'
WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d - ''   (L162, T151, R355, B389)

A good return:

    '15' 'TreeView2'
WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d - 'Network Profiles'   (L162, T393, R355, B420)

Most of the GUI is either menu dropdowns (I don't see) or grids with data.    I suspect that the .NET classes above have the menu and grid data inside them, but I don't know how to use pywinauto to access them  (besides using the .Click(coords=))

    Thanks!

Jason Lawrence
