@bright-fish/node-ui-automation NPM

Node UI Automation

For use only on the Windows Operating System.

This is a node api add-on that wraps the Microsoft UI Automation Library. The majority of COM functionality is wrapped using napi. There may be a few missing things like proxies, however the majority of the functionality is here.

Installation

npm install @bright-fish/node-ui-automation

How to use

Open the winver "About Windows" application. Below is an automation that clicks the ok button in the About Windows dialog.

const { Automation, PropertyIds, TreeScopes, PatternIds } = require('@bright-fish/node-ui-automation');

const automation = new Automation();

const desktopElement = automation.getRootElement();

const aboutWindowsProperty = automation.createPropertyCondition(PropertyIds.NamePropertyId, 'About Windows');

const winverWindow = desktopElement.findFirst(TreeScopes.Subtree, aboutWindowsProperty);

const okProperty = automation.createPropertyCondition(PropertyIds.NamePropertyId, "OK");

const okButton = winverWindow.findFirst(TreeScopes.Subtree, okProperty);

const invokeProvider = okButton.getCurrentPattern(PatternIds.InvokePatternId);

invokeProvider.invoke();
