As Chip says, the reclass process is nowadays reversible, without the necessity of editing the .we file; you just use Insert-R to reclass the element to something else that might work, or reclass it to "original class", which sets things back to their native state.
In trying to determine what information was available from a modern program using UIA, I found the GW Micro Tree View app to gbe useful. You find a ton of redundant information, and I don't get much insight on how one would script the program, but you at least see what has been provided, its roles, states, parents, siblings and children. The results can be saved to an XML file for further analysis.

It is focusing on a Wrapper object which may, from below, be a part of the Microsoft Framework which WindowEyes does not recognize, or has not recognized in the past. Here is the information and I could use some suggestions about ReClassing this object but I dont think it possible since it is not a UI element but a support wrapper element that creates windows dynamically. original class: HwndWrapper[DefaultDomain;;2c922a9a-6ecb-4910-8630-004662f3 WindowStyle: 46000000 Definition of the Class: HwndWrapper Class Visual Studio 2013 Represents a disposable wrapper around an HWND that can construct the WNDCLASS and HWND, run the WndProc and dispose of the WNDCLASS and HWND. Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0.dll) OK, given the above I dont think this class can be reclassed since it is not the correct object windoweyes should be focused on. Using the mouse windoweyes apparently can not read the Objects managed in this class either. I doubt WindowEyes scripting will help without having access to the native UIA tree and elements since WE doesnt recognize the objects being created in the first place and likely cant due to the fact it is a MS Framework Object. Any suggestions short of spending half my life trying to analyze this dom using some external scripting? Rick USA
