The main thing that makes scripting visual studio tricky is limiting
your scripts to just the parts of the interface that you are
interested in. The actual UIA objects work very well.
And something to keep in mind about scripting SQL Server Management
Studio is that it is actually built on the visual studio isolated
shell so I would expect scripting that to be quite a bit easier, since
you would not have nearly as many potentially colliding UI areas to
eliminate.
