Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by derek_penguin[/i] [br]I currently do my programming using a mixture of voice (Dragon Naturally speaking) + typing. Through UI Automation I can see how many intellisense list items there are, and get them, but I can't get their names. It should be fairly simple to add I would think. With standard visual studio, I can only get the visible intellisense items (but I do get their name). I get the following information from a utility I wrote to get UI Automation properties for the control under the mouse.
