Hi, Jonathan.
Unfortunately, there's no way to filter MSAA children like you can
standard windows. You simply have to either traverse the tree, or do
what you've done and point to the Accessible directly.
If you're wanting to click a button, instead of calling select, use
DoDefaultAction instead. That will keep the button from gaining focus first.
Thanks,
Aaron

Good Evening,
I am trying to click a specific button in the Lync Attendee application from
Microsoft.
How can I search for a button with the name "Share" without investigating the
entire MSAA hierarchy?
The button is the forth child of the ModeBar which is the second item of the
window that immed Application tells me has focus
I was able to do something like:
ClientInformation.Overlap.Accessible.Children(1).Children(4).Children(2).Children(4).select(1)
This awkward sequence initially causes the button to gain focus, but eventually
another item in the MSAA tree moves the position or the ModeBar is hidden, or a
dialog is active.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
