2 months agoSince you’ve already tried mapping your custom classes, inspecting controls in Object Spy, and considering OCR, here are some additional things that might help:
- Enable MSAA alongside UIA in Project → Object Mapping. Some DevExpress child controls are only exposed via MSAA.
- Check DevExpress Accessibility: Make sure your controls have EnableAccessibility = true. For custom wrappers, expose the inner DevExpress controls if possible.
- Programmatic Access: Access child elements via script when Object Spy cannot see them. For example, iterate nodes or rows with FindChild and log their properties.
- Support Ticket Prep: If these steps don’t work, gather screenshots and accessibility info before opening a SmartBear ticket.
Tip: Combining MSAA + UIA hybrid mode with DevExpress accessibility enabled resolves most child recognition issues.
