UIA v2

@shipaddicted try y.FindElement({Type:"Edit", not:{Value:""}}).SetFocus() (if SetFocus() doesn't work, try Select() instead).

@redrum notice that UIAViewer doesn't show the tree for the webpage, and in "Window Info" section the title is empty and window class is different. That means that the context menu is a separate window from the main one and you need to use ElementFromHandle for that separately. Try this:

Code: Select all

+F8::
{
        discordImage := UIA.GetFocusedElement()
        discordImage.Click("R") ; try ShowContextMenu() as well
        if (hWnd := WinWait("ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_2",, 1000)) {
            Sleep 40 ; this might not be necessary if the UIA tree for the context menu is created fast enough by Brave
            contextMenu := UIA.ElementFromHandle(hWnd)
            contextMenu.FindElement({Name:"Copy link address"}).Highlight()
        }
}

Works great, thanks!

I guess this one wasn't one of the 683 ways I thought of to try this . . .

Thank you!

I'm trying to grab a new notification (that is still on screen). Here's what UIA Viewer shows:

Screenshot 2024-05-24 123343.png (69.2 KiB) Viewed 231 times

Code from UIA Viewer's macro creator:

Code: Select all

ShellExperienceHostEl := UIA.ElementFromHandle("New notification ahk_exe ShellExperienceHost.exe")
ShellExperienceHostEl.ElementFromPath("").Highlight()

When I test the code:

Error: No matching window found
---- D:\Documents\AutoHotKey\AHK v2\Lib\UIA-v2-main\Lib\~UIAViewerMacro.tmp
▶ 003: ShellExperienceHostEl := UIA.ElementFromHandle("New notification ahk_exe ShellExperienceHost.exe")
004: ShellExperienceHostEl.ElementFromPath("").Highlight()
005: Exit

Same error if I try to grab child window "New notification from Snip & Sketch".

@redrum internally ElementFromHandle uses WinExist to get the handle to the window and then calls IUIAutomation::ElementFromHandle with that handle to get the UIA element. If UIA.ElementFromHandle is throwing the error "No matching window found" then the WinExist call failed (so MsgBox WinExist("New notification ahk_exe ShellExperienceHost.exe") should display "0"). Why that is I can't say - are you sure the window is still on the screen and titled exactly that? Have you tried turning DetectHiddenWindows on?

Also I now see an oversight in UIAViewer macro creator: ShellExperienceHostEl.ElementFromPath("").Highlight() should actually be ShellExperienceHostEl.Highlight()

[redrum]

MsgBox WinExist("New notification ahk_exe ShellExperienceHost.exe") does indeed return 0

WindowSpy:

New notification
ahk_class Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow
ahk_exe ShellExperienceHost.exe

Window is definitely still on screen, and I tried with DetectHiddenWindows True.

I'll check if I can find if there's something special about these Windows toast notification windows.
