Error message
This issue can cause the following error message in Accessibility Insights for Windows: The framework used to build this application does not support UI Automation.
How to investigate
Some frameworks do not implement UI Automation, making these frameworks inaccessible to the system-provided tools like Narrator or Magnifier. While some third party accessibility tools may be able to access some of the data presented in these frameworks, there is no guarantee that they will be accessible to all Windows users.
Possible workarounds
Options here are extremely limited. You can:
- Require your customers to use third party accessibility tools for your application
- Try to locate a UI Automation provider library that you can incorporate into your application
- Update to a version of the framework that supports UI Automation
- Port your application to a framework that natively supports UI Automation
