Is there anyway to get the element class name? about accessibility HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm happy to hear that it's helped you out. Unfortunately, it's a bit hard for me to answer specific questions, since (1) I wrote this five years ago; and (2) I no longer own any Mac hardware to test it on.

A guess: does the class show up in the .keys()?

Otherwise, I'm not sure if I can be all that helpful. The underlying CoreFoundation library documentation seems to be here. If it is possible in that C code, it should be possible to make this package do it, possibly with a patch.

@atheriel thanks for the supply. I dug around, and found out that you cannot do it. It appears that the accessibility inspector has some special entitlements. Oh well. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45590888/how-to-get-the-objective-c-class-name-corresponding-to-an-axuielement

Good detective work. I will close this for now, since there seems to be no solution.

Thanks, hopefully this will save someone a few hours trying to find a solution.
