How to Read URLs from Firefox tabs by UI Automation.

I want to create simple .NET wrapper around Firefox for testing purposes. Firstly I create code in bottom this page How to SendText to specific field in another application by Win32 API. But it work extremely slow, in my environment it worked at least 2 minutes. Therefore I try to learn structure of Firefox deeper by my own Reflection Object dumper.



And finally I found this version of code to search URL. This is full version of code with my testing efforts but without code of Reflection Object dumper


   1:  Imports System.Windows.Automation
   2:   
   3:  Module Module1
   4:   
   5:      Sub Main()
   6:          Dim Firefox As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("firefox")
   7:          If Firefox.Length > 0 Then
   8:              Dim Parent = Firefox(0).Parent
   9:              Dim RootElement As AutomationElement = AutomationElement.FromHandle(Parent.MainWindowHandle)
  10:              Dim ControlTypeCondition As Condition = New PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Custom)
  11:              Dim CustomControl_Level_1 As AutomationElement = GetAllNextLevelCustomControl(RootElement, ControlTypeCondition)
  12:              DumpProperty(CustomControl_Level_1, "Level_1")
  13:   
  14:              For Each CustomControl_Level_2 As AutomationElement In CustomControl_Level_1.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, ControlTypeCondition)
  15:                  DumpProperty(CustomControl_Level_2, "Level_2")
  16:   
  17:                  For Each CustomControl_Level_3 As AutomationElement In CustomControl_Level_2.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, ControlTypeCondition)
  18:                      DumpProperty(CustomControl_Level_3, "Level_3")
  19:   
  20:                      GetDocumentFromControl(CustomControl_Level_3)
  21:   
  22:                  Next
  23:              Next
  24:           End If
  25:      End Sub
  26:   
  27:     Private Function GetDocumentFromControl(CustomControl As AutomationElement)
  28:          Dim condDocument As Condition = New PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Document)
  29:          Dim Document1 As AutomationElement = CustomControl.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, condDocument)
  30:          If Document1 IsNot Nothing Then
  31:              For Each pattern As AutomationPattern In Document1.GetSupportedPatterns()
  32:                  If TypeOf Document1.GetCurrentPattern(pattern) Is ValuePattern Then Console.WriteLine((TryCast(Document1.GetCurrentPattern(pattern), ValuePattern)).Current.Value.ToString() + Environment.NewLine)
  33:              Next
  34:          End If
  35:      End Function
  36:   
  37:      Private Function GetAllNextLevelCustomControl(ByVal rootElement As AutomationElement, ByVal condCustomControl As Condition) As AutomationElement
  38:          Return rootElement.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, condCustomControl).Cast(Of AutomationElement)().ToList().Where(Function(x) x.Current.BoundingRectangle <> System.Windows.Rect.Empty).FirstOrDefault()
  39:      End Function
  40:   
  41:      Sub DumpProperty(Control As AutomationElement, Title As String)
  42:          Dim D As New ObjectDumper
  43:          Console.WriteLine("===========" & Title & "===========")
  44:          D.Dump(Control, 5)
  45:      End Sub
  46:   
  47:  End Module

And this is something another my universal extension function to search parent process, because this is firefox structure of tasks.



   1:  Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
   2:   
   3:  Module ProcessExtensions
   4:      Private Function FindIndexedProcessName(ByVal pid As Integer) As String
   5:          Dim processName = Process.GetProcessById(pid).ProcessName
   6:          Dim processesByName = Process.GetProcessesByName(processName)
   7:          Dim processIndexdName As String = Nothing
   8:   
   9:          For index = 0 To processesByName.Length - 1
  10:              If index = 0 Then
  11:                  processIndexdName = processName
  12:              Else
  13:                  processIndexdName = processName & "#" & index
  14:              End If
  15:   
  16:              Dim processId = New PerformanceCounter("Process", "ID Process", processIndexdName)
  17:   
  18:              If CInt(processId.NextValue()) = pid Then
  19:                  Return processIndexdName
  20:              End If
  21:          Next
  22:   
  23:          Return processIndexdName
  24:      End Function
  25:   
  26:      Private Function FindPidFromIndexedProcessName(ByVal indexedProcessName As String) As Process
  27:          Dim parentId = New PerformanceCounter("Process", "Creating Process ID", indexedProcessName)
  28:          Return Process.GetProcessById(CInt(parentId.NextValue()))
  29:      End Function
  30:   
  31:      <Extension()>
  32:      Function Parent(ByVal process As Process) As Process
  33:          Return FindPidFromIndexedProcessName(FindIndexedProcessName(process.Id))
  34:      End Function
  35:  End Module

And this is finally result of this test (if controls class dump is commented).
