Extending the UIA Plugin
Hello, I was wondering if TestComplete provides any "hooks" for extending the UIA Plugin. I'm looking for something similar to the support given by the custom extensions that can be written to...

Tanya,
Two examples that I have been unable to accomplish thus far:
1. Selecting an item in a combobox. UIA does this by calling the Select method of the SelectionItemPattern (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.selectionitempattern.select.aspx). However, this method does not show up in the list of available methods in TestComplete.
2. Selecting an item that is not currently in view (i.e. scrolled out of view). UIA does this by using the ItemContainerPattern.FindItemByProperty method combined with the VirtualizedItemPattern.Realize method. I'm unable to see either of these methods in TestComplete.
But my real question is more generic. When we encounter situations like this, is there anything we can do on our end to work around the issue? Even if the two issue above are resolved, I anticipate hitting other issues like this in the future. Might it be possible to setup a call with someone from your development team to discuss the situation? (FYI, I've opened support case M0109146 requesting the same information).
