[2.0.0] UIAutomation: toolbar elements' Invoke pattern not properly implemented

[Descolada]

Testing platform: Affinity Designer 2.0.0, Windows 10

Description: using UIAutomation InvokePattern Invoke method on the left-side toolbar items doesn't perform the expected action. 

Steps to reproduce:

1) Download Accessibility Insights

2) Inspect the toolbar with it:

3) Click "Actions..." next to InvokePattern in Patterns section

4) Click "Run action"

 

Expected result: the toolbar element being clicked/selected

Actual result: no action

 

InvokePattern seems to be implemented for some elements, such as the "Document Setup..." or "Preferences..." buttons. 

The toolbar elements at the top are not accessible at all (eg "Pixel view mode" or "Retina pixel view mode"), that is they are not inspectable with an UIAutomation inspect tool nor have TogglePattern implemented.

Hi @Descolada,

Welcome to the forum

Thank you for the feedback I have passed this along, as we are considering a rewrite of the Windows UI for V3, it is more likely that this would be considered then, rather than done for V2 version and then done again when the UI is rewritten, sorry
