Hi,

I want to get the text of the element under the mouse cursor in VB
using MSAA (in fact the same as Accexplorer does with the crosshairs).

However, AccessibleObjectFromPoint retruns some IAccessible object but
not the one wht the accName that is under the mouse coordinates.
I can of course navigate in its Parent or numerous Child trees but
still I don't know which element is the right one (by checking the
accLocation I could only eliminate some).

How does AccExplorer find the element located under the mouse cursor?

Thanks!
