Add a appModule for taskMan, to fix some bugs in windows ten. #8147

Link to issue number:

None

Summary of the issue:

In windows ten, task manager has a bug where the columns for CPU usage, memory, and other information about a process are UIA layout, not content. This fix makes these columns UIA content, so NVDA shows them when using simple review mode.

Testing performed:

Built NVDA, installed it, and ran it on task manager on windows ten, version 1709.

Known issues with pull request:

It might or might not work on 8 and 7, I need someone to test this if possible.### Change log entry:

Bug fixes:
- Fix a bug in task manager causing NVDA to not allow users to access the contents of specific details about processes.

should I request a review from NV Access?

Brian1Gaff · 2018-04-08T08:36:56Z

I have Windows 7 if you have an add on, perhaps we could test it might be safer for the unwashed to try! Ie me!

+from NVDAObjects import NVDAObject
+from NVDAObjects.UIA import UIA

+def appropriateDescendant(obj):


Either a docstring here or a name that better explains what this function is for.

I'd say the doc string is now clear, but still personally I'd prefer a name like isChildOfRow

source/appModules/taskmgr.py

+		obj = obj.parent
+	return False
+
+class BrokenUIAChild(NVDAObject):


Should inherit from UIA as it would not work with any other type of NVDAObject.

It is actually interesting to compare this issue with what I described in #7949 (comment) . There seem to be several similarities, particularly the fact that both the task manager and the outlook conversations view are kind of a data grid tree view hybrid. I wonder whether these issues have the same underlying UIA bug.

hi. i don't know if it is related but what can be done to improve performance of openning taskmanager in win10? with narrator running on my laptop it is openning very fast, in about 3 seconds, with nvda running it is taking 20-30 seconds taskmanager to come up.

I wonder if app list in the “apps and features” setting is the same.

derekriemer · 2018-04-12T12:53:48Z

Is it broken with simple review? I just tested it in simple review, and it worked.

derekriemer · 2018-04-12T13:13:44Z

Okay guys, I addressed @LeonarddeR review actions. I'm ready.

Just one thing, not related to the code as such. Furthermore, if we could somehow report this at Microsoft to get fixed, that would be preferred.

I have an open bug regarding this with Microsoft. The last I heard about it was that they're not intending to fix because it sort of works with Narrator. If one of you can provide me ith a little more technical info, I can go back and make another argument for a fix. Thank you.

PratikP1 · 2018-04-13T12:17:30Z

Should this pull request be linked to issue #7148?

LeonarddeR · 2018-04-13T12:21:31Z

Looks like the diff still shows one single tab instead of nothing.

Could #7949 (comment) help you in any way? I'm still pretty sure it's related.

That is a list, no tree view I believe.

If you think that this pr will fix it, and I think it does, then sure.
