Hi

automating a desktop mail client like Outlook, Thunderbird, or a web browser with Gmail using c#

 using System;

using System.Windows.Automation;


class GmailUIAutomation

{

    static void Main()

    {

        // Find the browser window (e.g., Chrome)

        var root = AutomationElement.RootElement;


        // Find Chrome window (title contains "Gmail")

        var chromeWindow = root.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,

            new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Gmail - Google Chrome"));


        if (chromeWindow == null)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Gmail Chrome window not found.");

            return;

        }


        // Try to find message list area (you'll need to inspect structure with UIA tools)

        AutomationElement messagePane = chromeWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants,

            new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Table));


        if (messagePane != null)

        {

            var messages = messagePane.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, Condition.TrueCondition);

            foreach (AutomationElement msg in messages)

            {

                string name = msg.Current.Name;

                Console.WriteLine("Message: " + name);

            }

        }

        else

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Could not find message pane.");

        }

    }

}
