[IronPython] IronPython and C# not giving the same result

[Stanger, Wolfram]

Hello all,
 
unless we get following child elements for example in a empty notepad application all playing be be useless:
 
Raw View:
---------------
  "Window" "Unbenannt - Editor"
    "Document" ""
      "Scrollbar" "Vertikale Bildlaufleiste"
        "Button" "Zurück um kleine Menge"
        "Button" "Vorwärts um kleine Menge"
    "Titelbar" "Unbenannt - Editor"
      "Menubar" "Systemmenüleiste"
        "Menuitem" "System"
      "Button" "Minimieren"
      "Button" "Maximieren"
      "Button" "Schließen"
    "Menubar" "Anwendung"
      "Menuitem" "Datei"
      "Menuitem" "Bearbeiten"
      "Menuitem" "Format"
      "Menuitem" "Ansicht"
      "Menuitem" "?"

It a german window a I have translated the ControlType (1st word; 2nd = name) to english.
 
The output ist created from the tool UISpy, witch shows all AutomationElements from all application curently running as child beneath the 'desktop' window.
 
UISpy come from MS and can be downloaded free.
 
Greetings
Wolfram

I tried your IronPython script and it found one child element which name is ''.

Change the print line to:
print 'Name:',  ae.Current.Name

	Hi, 

	All root elements are ok. Thus say, i can see all (?) of the root elements.

	But not when trying to iterate child elements of the Notepad automation element.

	W7 32 bit (UAC disabled)

		Hi All,

		 

		I have tried to transliterate the following C# code to IronPython:

		 

		using System;

		using System.Collections.Generic;

		using System.Linq;

		using System.Text;

		using System.Windows.Automation;

		 

		namespace ConsoleApplication1

		{

		    class Program

		    {

		        static void Main(string[] args)

		        {

		            AutomationElement eNode;

		            eNode = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetFirstChild(AutomationElement.RootElement);

		            while(eNode != null) {

		                if (eNode.Current.Name == "Untitled - Notepad")

		                {

		                    AutomationElement ae;

		                    ae = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetFirstChild(eNode);

		                    System.Console.WriteLine("-------------------");

		                    while (ae != null)

		                    {

		                        System.Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", ae.Current.Name);

		                        ae = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetNextSibling( ae);

		                    }

		                    System.Console.WriteLine("-------------------");

		                }

		                eNode = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetNextSibling(eNode);

		            }

		        }

		    }

		}

		 

		The output of this program looks like:

		 

		-------------------

		Name: test1

		Name: Untitled - Notepad

		Name: Application

		-------------------

		 

		This is my IronPython code:

		 

		import clr

		 

		clr.AddReference('UIAutomationTypes')

		clr.AddReference('UIAutomationProvider')

		clr.AddReference('UIAutomationClient')

		 

		import System.Windows.Automation as swu

		 

		rae = swu.TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetFirstChild( swu.AutomationElement.RootElement )

		while rae:

		    if rae.Current.Name == 'Untitled - Notepad':

		        print '-'*24

		        ae = swu.TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetFirstChild( rae )

		        while ae:

		            print ae.Current.Name

		            ae = swu.TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetNextSibling( ae )

		        print '-'*24

		    rae = swu.TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetNextSibling( rae )

		 

		The output of this shows:

		------------------------

		test1

		------------------------

		 

		I read somewhere that IronPython used to have issues with UI Automation. Is still the case?

		 

		Regards,

		Yngipy
