    Pywinauto uses standard windows API calls. Unfortunately many UI libraries (like Swing/QT/GTK) do not respond in a typical way to the API calls used – so unfortunately pywinauto usually cannot get the control information. (I am the Author of pywinauto).

    I can’t give you a way to access the properties of the Swing controls.
