Hi: Visual Studio Express does not expose the COM interface unless you buy the
Professional Version. That means no add-ins for the Express nor the Standard
Versions as far as I can tell.
I ran Jamal's HarvestWindow app and it looks like the MSAA stuff is still there
and, if GW has done it all, the UIA stuff should be exposed through their MSAA
and other objects from what I understand.
I don't know about scripting the WPF objects which are what is used in all the
new Microsoft Software and in Visual Studio in particular.
Has anyone used a WE Script to do some scripting of the Visual Studio
environment and especially the Editors and Designers?
What about the WPF stuff?
What about interacting with the DOM controls which are actually WPF in nature
if I understand what I've read about the new Visual Studio?
I am trying to find out if vb.net and vwd 2010 can be scripted without using
add-ins as is being done for the VS Professional level, really expensive,
software.
Well, that's it. Without add-ins it may be a real mess to try and script that
battleship but it is what it is.
Some day my old machine will have to be replaced and I will be forced into
windows 7 or 8 and likely have to install and use the newer Microsoft
development software so I am starting to look at what I may have to do to
reduce my learning curve when that happens.
