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.

I'd love to see either an AutomationID, or Name property set on the DataItem.

Starting from the intellisense item and going up:
