The only mention of UIA therein is the use of a function called
FocusWindowSupportsUIA(), and while it has no description linked to it, it does
return true on all the controls, but nothing else really seems to get much from
their then assigned UIA/AutomationProperties, so not really sure if that
function means too much as of yet.
If I try testing it in a classic windows app also created using VS.Net 2008, it
does then return false for those controls, but like said, seems there are no
UIA information specific functions as of yet, and also seems like even if the
controls are returning true for this function call, they're still not really
being 'seen' too well as of yet anyway.
Stay well

Hi,
Open the default scripts for JAWS 11 and search for the string uia.

Subject: [jawsscripts] UIA functions in jaws 11?
Does anyone know if there are any UIA specific functions in the jaws scripting
language of jaws 11?
I have tried using mostly the same functions was using in jaws 10, along with a
few others, and it still doesn't really return what VS calls the
AutomationProperties descriptive attributes of controls from within WPF forms
etc., so doesn't really seem like the UIA (user interface automation) support
has really been implemented in jaws 11 beta unless I'm really misunderstanding
all of this.
Have also filled in the report from from the beta download page, along with
providing them the download links for the various test apps, etc. etc., but
haven't heard back from FS yet, so was just wondering if missing anything
obvious like differing functions etc. since don't find anything mentioned in
the help files as such.
TIA
