Hi, Actually, they will be a separate PR just for this issue so it can go live as part of 2018.3 at the earliest. Thanks. |

…ws 7, 8.x, 10, as well as apps. Re nvaccess#8405. Windows 10 and various apps added more dilaog class names. Rather than using a static list as part of overlay class chooser in UIA object, this list, along iwth new ones, are now available in UIA handler. Also, added constant for UIA_IsDialogPropertyID in UIA handler, to be removed once IUIAutomation6 interface support comes to NVDA, as this property ID will be included in Redstone 5.

…roperty in Windows 10 RS5. Re nvaccess#8405. Instead of looking up only three class names, look up more via: * Additional class names found in Windows 10 and various apps. * In RS5, IsDialog property. This allows dialogs such as app uninstlal dialog and many others to be recognized and their contents read by NVDA.

Reviewed by @leonardder (Babbage): simplify dialog flag via assigning this flag from exception hyandler segment rahter than setting it to False when COM error is thrown. This then allows IsDialog flag to be set whether or not exceptoin has occured.

All the other classes are clearly dialogs from the name. * Update What's new

Hi,
Related to #8339:
There are dialogs powered by XAML that are not recognized by NVDA as proper dialogs. These include app removal dialog in Settings/Apps/App and Features, reset dialog in Settings/Update and Security/Recovery/Reset, and potentially others. For now, NVDA does not read them natively, and in order to announce them, one needs to install Windows 10 App Essentials add-on.
Technical: in the old days, automation ID's weren't useful, but that's slowly changing. Thankfully these controls have unique UIA class names, including Shell_SystemDialog, Popup and others. Checking for class names could serve as one of several tests to detect dialogs.
Thanks.
