pywinauto / UIAutomation

Windows desktop automation for agents and scripts that need to inspect or control native applications through Win32 and Microsoft UI Automation. This combines pywinauto for high-level app/window control with Python UIAutomation for lower-level UIA tree access.

What you can do

  • Inspect Windows apps: Enumerate windows, controls, names, AutomationIds, and class names.
  • Automate native workflows: Click, type, select, focus, and read state from desktop applications.
  • Test desktop UI: Build regression checks for dialogs, installers, admin tools, and internal apps.
  • Bridge agent control: Give RAPR agents a Windows UIA-first route before falling back to screenshots/OCR.

Windows Setup

The installer can install the Python packages when Python is available:

python -m pip install pywinauto uiautomation pywin32 comtypes

A real unlocked interactive desktop session is required. UIA automation will not behave reliably from Session 0, Windows services, or a locked desktop.

Example Requests

  • "Inspect the visible controls in this Windows app and tell me what can be automated."
  • "Build a pywinauto script for this repeatable desktop workflow."
  • "Use UIAutomation to read the current app state before taking action."

Ask before interacting with sensitive apps, destructive dialogs, admin prompts, payments, emails, or production systems.
