[Qt GUI] VLC Skins widgets are not recognized

[ferpasri]

This capture represents the detection of the different widgets when we use the native VLC interface.

VLC can be tested using the native interface, however, if we use the Skins that modify the VLC GUI, the widgets are not recognized. Skins components are not detected by TESTAR or by the Windows OS.

Tools -> preferences -> use custom skin -> Select the downloaded skin
(I have tried the "eDark", "NIce" and "Debian Red Coast" skins on the Windows 10 OS)

Maybe because VLC uses Qt, which does not natively expose things through UIA unless you use the Qt accessibility library as far as I know. Not sure though. If the widgets were available through MSAA, they should also be available through UIA's MSAA proxy.

Maybe someone should have a look into Qt API at some point?

There is a current fix to detect QT GUI elements in the PR #299
