Hello Mohan,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, Mirosoft UI automation framework is available from .NET Framwork 3.0. For .NET 2.0 you can try to PInvoke the Accessibility APIs. See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317990%28VS.85%29.aspx

As the problem has more about Windows Accessibility and Automation, I recommend you post this question on Windows Accessibility and Automation forum where there are more exports about Accessibility.

Hello,

Thanks for your post on MSDN forum.

Microsoft also provide a framework to help automating the User Interface in managed code. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753388.aspx

"Microsoft UI Automation is the new accessibility framework for Microsoft Windows. It addresses the needs of assistive technology products and automated test frameworks by providing programmatic access to information about the user interface (UI). In addition, UI Automation enables control and application developers to make their products accessible."

For example:

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response.
Yes I understanfd that Mirosoft UI automation. But I believe that it will support from 3.3 and above and will not support 2.0. Also I am not sure it will have method for accesing andd automating Menu and Owner draw menu items.
Pleas clarify it.

Thanks,Mohan
