Im using this code to get the value of LegacyIAccessible.State: show in the picture below:

IUIAutomationElement* element = nullptr;  
hr = elementArray->GetElement(nItem, &element);  
BSTR bstrName;  
hr = element->get_CurrentName(&bstrName);  
  
UIA_HWND hwnd;  
hr = element->get_CurrentNativeWindowHandle(&hwnd);  
  
BSTR bstrId;  
hr = element->get_CurrentAutomationId(&bstrId);  
RECT rect;  
hr = element->get_CurrentBoundingRectangle(&rect);  
  
IUIAutomationLegacyIAccessiblePattern* pattern;  
element->GetCurrentPatternAs(UIA_LegacyIAccessiblePatternId, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pattern));  
DWORD state = 0;  
pattern->get_CurrentState(&state);  

When the value of state is 1074790400 witch in hex represent 0x40100000

How i could interpret this value to get these values in the picture? i mean: focusable has popup (0x40100000).

    In Oleacc.h :

    #define	STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE	( 0x100000 )  
      
    #define	STATE_SYSTEM_HASPOPUP	( 0x40000000 )

    According to LegacyIAccessible Control Pattern, Use the GetStateText function to retrieve localized string.
