Hi,

I'm afraid, there is no special support for DirectUI. And looking around the internet, it seems that it's an old and already forgotten technology? Your only hope is most probably a GDI Capture approach, which is far from perfect, but it may help with some elements? ;) Aside of GDI Capture, you can use image-based automation, but that's something I would personally not use as a long term solution.
