Hi... We are developing an application for which we need to resize third party Application Windows. I am using accessibility API's for resizing. Some of the Applications like TextEdit, Finder, Terminal etc... are resized properly according to the given size.
But the Applications like iTunes, DVD Player, Stickers , Chess, Photo Booth are not resizing, even though their position can be changed. Sample code is a as follows: AXUIElementIsAttributeSettable (m_curWndElement, kAXSizeAttribute, &settable); NSLog(@"kAXSizeAttribute, settable :: %d ",settable); ----o/p == 0 AXUIElementIsAttributeSettable (m_curWndElement, kAXPositionAttribute, &settable); NSLog(@"kAXPositionAttribute settable :: %d ",settable); ----o/p == 1 AXError err1 = AXUIElementSetAttributeValue(m_curWndElement, kAXSizeAttribute, newSizeRef1); NSLog(@"err1 :: %d ",err1); ----o/p == -25205(kAXErrorAttributeUnsupported) err1 = AXUIElementSetAttributeValue(m_curWndElement, kAXPositionAttribute, newWindowPos1); NSLog(@"err2 :: %d ",err1); ----o/p == 0 (kAXErrorSuccess) Is AXUIElementRef object(i.e kAXSizeAttribute) of these applications are settable or not?? I had checked with other sample Carbon application, its working fine. Looking at the window in Accessibility Inspector, all the windows report that AXSize is not a settable attribute(Writable). So, it is reporting AXSize as a read-only property.But at the same time it is reporting AXPosition also as a read only property, & i am able to reposition it. So is anybody knows why the same element can be repositioned but not resize?? why it is returning 0 when we can resize it manually?? Or is there any other way to resize the these application windows??
