Browsemode with UI Automation #4

FalkoBabbage commented 1 year ago

I have been looking for a way to get the annotation objects for a word document and presenting it in the elementlist as fast as JAWS is doing. I have been trying to do this with UI Automation, but I got several problems with that. When I use a document in word 365 with lots of comments the UI Automation framework is not able to get all annotation objects. Besides that, the corresponding annotation pattern does not have a guaranteed "FullDescription" property that containts the actual comment message (or as far as I know). I would like to pick this up, but I do not know the approach for this.

Hi. Sorry, but I don't quite understand the purpose of your request, nor the relationship with the quotedadd-on. I don't know UIA very well and I base myself mainly on the source of NVDA. Also, I don't have office 365 and stuck to 2019. Have you looked in the NVDAObjects\uia\wordDocument.py file of NVDA source? Maybe there is what you are looking for. Best regards. Paul.
