Hi Justin/Sonya,

I did use shift+Ctrl+A to identify the drop down menu. With that I see Window("Chrome_WidgetWin_2", "", 2) in Name. The entire drop down menu is recognized this way and I cant recognize anything beyond that. The drop down menu displays few values and I am supposed to read it using Automation which I am unable to do.

    Thanks Justin, enabling MSAA worked like a charm!
