I am invoking C++ UIautomation modules in my UWP application. The application is not able to extract control elements since it is not running in an elevated environment. How should I set up the manifest file or set my UWP app to be able to get access to ui elements of other applications.

I'd suggest that you could put the UIautomation modules into a console app and then launch the console as elevated from your UWP app using desktop bridge. You will also need to add the allowElevation capability into the manifest file.

For detailed steps, you could take a look at Stefan wick's blog- App Elevation Samples.

  • Thanks mate. I followed and talked with stefan regarding the issue. I was trying to run the console from the UWP app. However , i was not able to do it for a C++/CX UWP app. ( I was able to do from a C# UWP app and i followed the same procedure for C++). Is there any repository for a C++ UWP implementation of the same. It throws some dll issues and file not found errors when running FulltrustLaunch api through a C++ UWP application. – SHOBIT PRASHANT NAIR Jun 25 '22 at 21:21
