Hi
I am learning about the MSAA, Microsoft Active Accessibility library, to control ui.
I learnt from here:
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=40590
But I found that my script is not working.
I try to learn by writing a script to accessing the file explorer 1st quick access item.
p.s. I know windows already has shortcut for that, but I want to make it as a learning process.
I have try the following two ways of doing but after pressing f1, nothing happend
Code1:
#NoEnv
;#SingleInstance force
Escape::ExitApp
F1::
button2click := "3.4.1.4.1.4.1.4.1.4.1.4"
WinGet, hWnd, id, ahk_class CabinetWClass
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", button2click, 0, "ahk_id " hWnd)
oAcc.accDoDefaultAction(0)
return

; Acc.ahk Standard Library
; by Sean
; Updated by jethrow:
; Modified ComObjEnwrap params from (9,pacc) --> (9,pacc,1)
; Changed ComObjUnwrap to ComObjValue in order to avoid AddRef (thanks fincs)
; Added Acc_GetRoleText & Acc_GetStateText
; Added additional functions - commented below
; Removed original Acc_Children function

In case anyone else has ran into the issues with control ClassNNs changing in some programs.
Here is a little tool that uses MAA/ACC to find and test the path to controls.
Drag the cross-hair to the control you want; code will be generated, you can then copy or test it.
I am trying to use ACC.ahk to find the ClassNN of each control in a .NET application via accSelect then use ControlGetFocus to get the ClassNN of the currently focused control.
;Acc.ahk
WinGet, hWnd, ID, ahk_exe Payback.exe
q::
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.1.4.4.4", 0, "ahk_id " hWnd)
oAcc.accSelect(1)
ControlGetFocus, OutputVar , ahk_exe Payback.exe
msgbox % OutputVar
oAcc := ""
Return
w::
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.1.4.2.4", 0, "ahk_id " hWnd)
oAcc.accSelect(1)
ControlGetFocus, OutputVar , ahk_exe Payback.exe
msgbox % OutputVar
oAcc := ""
Return
If the application is active, I can select a field I want but only once. However, if the application is not active it lets me select different fields as I desire, as long as I click on another window first.
Anyone got any ideas on where I am going wrong? Or even a better way to deal with constantly changing ClassNN’s would really help.
Haven't seen this shared anywhere on Reddit. This is a very useful resource for anyone trying to find some accessible games!

Hats off to you guys for doing that and bringing attention to it. Accessibility in engineering a product often gets overlooked and for most companies is an afterthought at best.
Discussing it right in the middle of your presentation in-between announcing new hardware was really nice. It's really smart of you to bring more visibility to this issue, and also for your teams to dedicate resources towards solving it!
Microsoft preaches accessibility and they have delivered a bunch of amazing features from the adaptive controller to the copilot settings. Kudos.
A friend of mine is severely colorblind, to the point to where he can’t see things due to the colors blending. I mentioned Back 4 Blood having a color blind mode (before looking into it myself) and now he preaches its one of the best he has seen offered in a game. After moving on to the next game, my buddy keeps referring to the amazing color blind mode that B4B has to offer and is sad he can’t have those options for any game.
It got me thinking, could there be a console wide color blind setting option for those who need it? Is this even possible?
The "Show a high visibility outline around the area of focus on the page" option is new:
Or by clicking on the sites comment box.
Outline around the area of focus (GIF).
The "Open system preferences for captions" option opens the ease of Access page of the Windows 10 Settings app (Closed captions).
