1 year ago I know you are probably deep into this context, but pretend others do not know what you want to achieve with the information you wrote.
I will do some guessing: You either want to do some UI automation, or you have a application which increases accessibility for less able users, and one of those solutions does not work optimally with your applications tray icon.
Some questions I got:
- You say you cannot find the automation ID for this app, you mean for the icon?
- Do you expect something you specified yourself, or are you talking generally that you expect some ID to be there?
- I'm not so deep into automation, just know some basics, so it's fair to ask: do other icons have such an automation ID?
I found in the Microsoft documentation of the Shell-API, which this project uses, only one reference of something called the guidItem, see here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/ns-shellapi-notifyicondataa
I'm not sure, but I'd guess you expect a GUID for an automation ID?
Hi, Is there a way to provide automation ID for the system tray application? We're using Hardcodet wpf notify icon. When I use inspect tool, I cannot find Automation Id for the app.
