PegaRobotics - UI Connector
Hi,
Currently i am trying to use UI connectors for few of my controls. It works fine and i am able to write extensions by exploring the native members.
when i try to do the same for any c/c++ application(Example putty.exe) the UI connector option is not available as its not a .net control but i do get an option to write an type and component extension.
Question is how do i get to know what all methods available for interrogated control when it comes to c/c++ application or how do we approach to write an extension for a non .net controls
Thanks in advance

Since Putty is type of Emulator, you can try using text Adapters by adding Windows Adapter & then adding Text Adapter by choosing Attachmate Configuration settings, For UI Connectors as of now it supports only for .NET Controls & applications(like WPF, Win forms etc.),I am not sure currently UIConnectors has any support for C/C++ based applications,if you didn't get any info,raise an SR & check with the support team .

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. my question was on a broader perspective of any application build on c/c++. putty was just an easy example.

Unfortunately, UI Connector Framework only supports C# and Java technologies. Applications written in C, C++, Cobol, etc, are not supported at this time.

Thanks Mitchell,
What is the best way to automate controls in c/c++ applications then? other than send keys and screens scrapping.
