I am trying to access this list of checkboxes in an Autodesk Revit dialog with UI Automation. But when I look at the dialog with Inspect and UISpy, the list or checkboxes are not shown. There is an "Add selection to:" pane and the scrollbars that scroll the checkbox list, but not the checkbox list. Is there any way to access these controls?

Is the list dynamically populated? If so can you try to set an Automation ID for the controls and check. I had similar issue with a custom controller and it works that way.

  • Thanks @tenne could you explain more about how I can get the Automation ID for the controls? – Harry Mattison Sep 16 '20 at 14:15
  • I'm not the developer of this dialog, so I don't know how I can set any IDs. I am a 3rd party developer trying to push buttons in the dialog using Windows Automation. – Harry Mattison Sep 16 '20 at 14:24
  • Import "System.Windows.Automation" for UI automation. If the controller constructor support only setters, do the following. element.SetValue(AutomationProperties.AutomationIdProperty, "automation_ID"); – tenne Oct 06 '20 at 09:56
