Hiya
The developers here are currently implementing MSAA to some of our custom MFC controls
So far they have got RanorexSpy seeing child elements on the control
However I have a question about Role and Capability....
From MSAA you can set a role for each element, how is this used by Ranorex to determine which class in the Ranorex API the control is now usable as?
Thanks
MSAA Roles map to Ranorex classes

Re: MSAA Roles map to Ranorex classes
Ranorex tries to match the MSAA roles to its own Roles, e.g. Button, Checkbox, etc. are mapped 1:1, some are mapped in a more general way, for example "Grouping" and "Pane" are mapped to Container.
MSAA elements always have the "Accessible" capability in Ranorex where you can access all attributes available via MSAA (e.g. exact msaa role, name, value, help, keyshortcut, defaultaction)
Have a look at my latest blog post:

While the article is for Winforms, the same principles apply to native MSAA implementations as well.
