Hi Dark,

No, UI Automation wouldn't effect Dosbox one way or another because
Dosbox doesn't use the Windows API which is precisely why it doesn't
work in the first place. UI Automation is simply a bridge between
Windows applications built using the standard Windows API and adaptive
technologies such as screen readers. In order to make Dosbox work it
has to be rewritten from the ground up using standard Windows GUI
components which probably isn't going to happen any time soon.

Cheers!
