I want to use UIAutomation as a server from my application.
When calling function "UiaReturnRawElementProvider" in WM_GETOBJECT message, I get E_CANTCALLOUT_ININPUTSYNCCALL (0x8001010D) exception.
I initialize my COM library with OleInitialize().
Any idea ?

    When running the UIAutomationSimpleProvider sample under the debugger this exception appears in a message in the output window. However, it has no effect on the functioning of the sample application.

    Also, read this - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/com/call-synchronization

    Additionally, the exception in the debugger is what is known as a first-chance exception. The debugger is notified of all exceptions. If it is not configured to break on an exception the exception is then seen by the application being debugged. If the application handles the exception then execution continues.
