Create UI manually

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am working with a program called CadKey 98. It is a very old program, and when I turn the desktop recorder, the recording does not recognize any of my mouse clicks on this program. Does anyone have a manually created examples of UI elements?

    You'll need to check if the UI elements are accessible:

    If not, then you can only use OCR, image or keyboard based actions.
