| The properties of a Cocoa button object (NSButton) does not have one-to-one mapping to the attributes of an accessibility object (AXUIElement). As you've found out, you can't take an AXUIElement and hope to get the properties of a NSButton, like key equivalent. I am not aware of any MacOS API that will allows you to obtain the NSButton object cross-process in order to sniff out its properties. You can try asking on the Cocoa dev mailing list instead.

I have a cocoa application running and there is a NSButton on it. From another process, I can get some properties of that Button via Accessibility APIs (i.e. by AXUIElement). Obviously, only limited properties are exposed, I can not get properties like "buttonType", "KeyEquivelant" through this way.
So, my question is, Is there any fundamental APIs on Mac that can retrieve properties of a UI element, particularly in an cross-process way. Thanks in advance!
