Bob,
tanks for recommending Inspect. I made search for it, and I found that
it is already a legacy tool. Here is its successor, the Accessiblity Insight
https://accessibilityinsights.io/
But, honestly, the AutoIt tool is much-much better. And do you know,
why? because the ability to generate code snipets. Because the AutoIt
code is easily transformable into VB.NET code, so it will take not a big
effort to rewrite it as portable .NET app with the ability to generate
specially JAWS Script codesnipets.

There is a tool called inspect that can be found by installing the windows
sdk.
Much easier than writing your own app!

Hi Snowman,
as far as I remember you mentioned here in the list in a thread about
around Xmas that you would like to update your scripts with UIA but you
have some problems. I think, this tool will help you a lot. I found it
today, and it is really very good! It is called UIA Spy and written in
AutoIt, as AutoIt sample code for UIA objects. It generates not only a
full UIA tree of the selected window or object(s) but also can generate
code snippets to the selected object. It is true, that it generates
AutoIt code, but this code can be used in JAWS scripts with only some
small changes. The generated code can be used trough the MS UIA COM dll
shipped with Windows 10. So it will be faster, than the code which uses
Freedom's UIA Walker.
To use the tool, AutoIt 3 should be installed.
There is the link:

I'm thinking of copying this tool and rewrite it in VB as a portable
.NET based app. It could help us a lot to script new modern apps,
because it generates everything what one needs to "reach" an object in
modern UI.
