UIA MenuItem Support

[leviwilson]

Added support to be able to select menu items when using the ms_uia adapter.

Example

window = RAutomation::Window.new(:title => /SomeWindow/, :adapter => :ms_uia)

# will select File -> Recent Files -> 1.) last_file.txt
window.select_menu_item "File", "Recent Files", "1.) last_file.txt"

The proposed API seems cumbersome, e.g. it does not follow RAutomation API style. I'm not sure if it is possible technically, but it could be something like this:

window.menu(:text => "File").menu(:text => "Recent Files").menu(:text => "1.) last_file.txt").open
window.menu(:text => "File").menus.map(&:text) # => ["About", "Recent Files", ...]
window.menu(:text => "File").exists? # => true

In other words, menu should be just another control and have the same API like every other control + some method like my proposed #open to finally select that menu item. Or maybe the method name should be #select instead? Otherwise good idea to support menu items too.

What do you think about my ideas?

I like it. I'll refactor to be consistent with the api later today. On Nov 11, 2012 10:35 AM, "Jarmo Pertman" notifications@github.com wrote:

Refactored to include all of your suggestions. Let me know if this will work.
