Text

A control has states/properties that are inconsistent {0} and {1}

Type

Error

Description

An element is reporting inconsistent or conflicting MSAA states or UI Automation properties. For example, when the get_accState method returns any of the following combinations.

  • STATE_SYSTEM_EXPANDED and STATE_SYSTEM_COLLAPSED
  • STATE_SYSTEM_SELECTED and not STATE_SYSTEM_SELECTABLE
  • STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED and not STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE

This issue causes problems for people who rely on a screen-reader and keyboard for navigation because an incorrect element state might be reported to the user.

Possible causes

The element or its parent has an MSAA state set inappropriately.
