Identify the list of controls in an app

Hi,

Can anyone let me know how to get hold of a currently running application
and get the list of controls within it. In all of the forums I could see only
to start an application and capture its object and then access its controls
with their names. But in this case I should get the list of controls
available in a currently running application.

Can anyone help me out on this.

You can try WASP (Windows Automation Snapin for PowerShell), by Jaykul, available
for download at:

PS 39> Select-Window -Title "Internet Properties" | Select-Control | select

Hi Shay Levi,

Using WASP I was able to identify the first level controls in the
application. But my application uses embedded controls as below:

(as shown by SPY++)
Window->Shell Embedding->Shell DocObject View->Internet Explorer_Server

Even SPY++ did not recognize the controls within it. It seems the
application loads a html taken from a DLL, and displayes it in the
application. Thus I am unable to identify the controls loaded by the html.

In this case, how can I identify controls within embedded objects.

Thanks,
Madmax

The web page you're trying to get is window-less and WASP doesn't have any
logic for dealing with that stuff.
You can try sending key strokes...
