I’m learning to use Automation UI in C#. However the problem is that I can’t identify a textbox within a side app properly.

I’m using following condition to identify a textbox:

string name = "textBox1";
Condition c = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, name);

It works fine in case if you know textbox’s exact name, but you can’t possibly know the exact name of the elements within an application other than your own. None of the programs such as Spy++ or Winspector show this name!

how do you identify textboxes within another application?

P.S. I’ve also tried to use “ClassNameProperty”, but Class names are usually the same for similar elements.
