    Well, it did not work as I expected. It produced the code like this:

     

    wndWixExtBA = Aliases.Micromedical_Installer.wndWixExtBA
    wndWixExtBA.Click(251, 54)
    wndWixExtBA.Click(253, 98)
    wndWixExtBA.Click(255, 128)

     

    But i found maybe not a perfect solution, but I found idea that help me solve my problem. While some automation script has been running, I invoke Test1() function every second line:

     

    def Test1():
      result=Sys.Process("Micromedical*", 2).Window("WixExtBA", "Micromedical*", 1).FindAll("FullName","*",1000)
      for element in result:
        if (element.VisibleOnScreen == True):
          Log.Message(element.FullName)

     

    My log contains now some information, that lets me make a deeper analyze and lets find what I have been looking for.

Most UI testing tools dose is mimic user interaction with AUT

since you says it appears for 2 second, an actual user may most probably ignore it or just glance at what ever short message on it.

 

you already doing ignoring at some point. if you need to read the message in mentioned window you can get a screen shot like this

 

If I were you, need something more than that, would record a test with auto- name mapping on like this and click on the particulate window while appears on screen
