I have been trying for months to work with the AccessibleChildren function in VB.Net, but I can't make it happen...
Can someone provide a working example of an application of AccessibleChildren that returns something meaningful?

Well, don't use it, it is only "easy" from C++ code. Use System.Windows.Automation instead. Google "system.windows.automation get children" for hits. – Hans Passant Jan 31 '21 at 00:23

Thank you @HansPassant! To add some context: I am working on a VB.NET PowerPoint add-in and I need to get the text in a Ribbon combo-box. Is this possible? I am reading up on System.Windows.Automation and trying to get the Ribbon children, but I don't know how to get started... This [link](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.automation.peers.ribboncomboboxautomationpeer?view=net-5.0) looks like what I am looking for, but it only mentions C# and I can't get get any working example of System.Windows.Automation being used in VB.NET. Can you help? – Ricardo Jan 31 '21 at 12:02
