<div>Hi,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm using UIAutomation framework with IronPython to test our application.</div><div>For WPF dialogs it works perfectly. But I run into trouble when try to use it for some older dialogs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The problem: With IronPython I'm not able to get proper control type. Any controls appears as ControlType.Pane </div><div><br></div><div>Simple example: (with windows calculator)</div><div>--------------------------------------- IP Code ------------------------------------------------------</div>
