I'm trying to gather info about widgets for arbitrary windows. I'm
really only interested in getting information about visible items,
although AXUI provides access to items which are not visible.
I'm hitting a problem with applications like Mail, which involve
tables of rows that can be extremely large. For example, my inbox has
over 10k messages, and a row exists for each message. When I'm
scanning the window to get information about widgets, browsing the
hierarchy, my scanning program tries to hit each of these children,
which places a huge tax on Mail and system resources.
I'd like to limit the widgets I consider to those that are visible.
It seems like the ability to get visible children through
kAXVisibleChildrenAttribute exists, but it doesn't seem supported by
any components. The kAXVisibleRow seems to work, but I'm concerned my
problem might not be limited to tables, and I would like a solution
which is general.
Does anyone know what I can do?
