AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition failure

Subject: AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition failure
From: Gregory Cooksey <email@hidden>

I am trying to write a tool to send mouse clicks to random positions in an application for testing purposes. How I've been doing this so far has been to generate a random position and then call AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() with the system-wide element and checking whether the resulting AXUIElement belongs to my target application.

I've found a problem though: when the point I check is in the title bar of an application, AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() fails with the kAXErrorFailure condition. Has anybody out there got any ideas why it might be doing this, or other suggestions as to how I should determine which application is at a specified position?

Thanks,

-Greg
