Is there a way (a logic basically based on interpretting the AX
features) that would allow me to determine whether a Window
implements AX features or not.
For example, when I point my cursor at the center of a Word document
window UIElement Inspector tells me that the cursor is above an
AXWindow. If I do the same for TextEdit it tells me I am above an
AXTextArea. However, if I move my cursor over the window titlebar of
the TextEdit window UI Element Inspector also tells me it is an
AXWindow. In the Word case everything in the window but the
scrollbars and grow area are reported as AXWindow (in other words the
Window does not fully implement AX features). In the TextEdit case I
only get reported AXWindow over the titlebar. Is there a way to
distinguish the TextEdit titlebar's AXWindow reporting from the
entire Word window AXWindow reporting? You see, I need to deal with
things differently in the case of a click in a window that everywhere
just reports as AXWindow from the case of a window where AX is fully
implemented and the click was just in the window frame. Or, framing
my question differently, is there a way to recognize a window that is
entirely report as a window frame (The Word case) from one where only
the real frame is rported as a frame (the TextEdit case)?
Thanks,
david.
