Accessibility Insights for Windows shows the following property:
ControlType Group(50026)
when I hover over a search box that is an <input />
html tag.
I used Google Chrome Version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)
.
How does AI4W determine the control type of the html tag?
The accessibility insights doc says the control type is a concept from the Microsoft UI automation accessibility framework. You can look up the 50026
id for Group
on this reference page.
It is not yet clear to me how AI4W determined the exact control type. I suspect Chrome implements a Client-Side (Proxy) UI Automation Provider but I am not sure about it. If it does, how does the implementation deduce the control types?
