Is the AutomationID a property only available via UI automation? I dont recall but I don't think so. Even so, you can us any properties in NameMapping. You don't need to keep what was automated.

With your compoelnent on screen, right click on the item in NameMapping and select aedit. You can add or modify any properties you wish.
