Reading out Edge Browser Title & Url with System.Windows.Automation
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowYou're almost there. You just need to get the TextPattern from the addressEditBox element. Here is a full sample Console app that dumps out all currently running Edge's windows on the desktop:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
AutomationElement main = AutomationElement.FromHandle(GetDesktopWindow());
foreach(AutomationElement child in main.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, PropertyCondition.TrueCondition))
{
AutomationElement window = GetEdgeCommandsWindow(child);
if (window == null) // not edge
continue;
Console.WriteLine("title:" + GetEdgeTitle(child));
Console.WriteLine("url:" + GetEdgeUrl(window));
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
public static AutomationElement GetEdgeCommandsWindow(AutomationElement edgeWindow)
{
return edgeWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new AndCondition(
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Window),
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Microsoft Edge")));
}
public static string GetEdgeUrl(AutomationElement edgeCommandsWindow)
{
var adressEditBox = edgeCommandsWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "addressEditBox"));
return ((TextPattern)adressEditBox.GetCurrentPattern(TextPattern.Pattern)).DocumentRange.GetText(int.MaxValue);
}
public static string GetEdgeTitle(AutomationElement edgeWindow)
{
var adressEditBox = edgeWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "TitleBar"));
return adressEditBox.Current.Name;
}
[DllImport("user32")]
public static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();
}
