Hi, Chip. There are two ways:
1. Using Visual Studio, add a reference to the uiautomationcore.dll file located in your system directory. Visual Studio will automatically create the interop dll, stick in your project, and reference it. 2. Use the TlbImp utility that ships with the .NET library to create the interop DLL by hand. You'll then need to add it to your project, and reference it. Regardless of which method you use, once it's referenced, add a using line, like this: using UIAutomationClient; Then you can create a client object by doing: IUIAutomation client = new IUIAutomation(); Once you have a client, Bob's your uncle.
