Window application starts from .bat file

[pzelazo]

Hi,
The application starts from .bat file, but the login screen is created in SWT_window0. I want to click in "User: " field and type login, then, "Password: " and type password but instead of it I receive and error. The error according to me appears because the session is assigned to cmd wind (created by .bat file) and I can't catch the splash screen.

Could you please tell me how can I get splash screen and assign to the new session? I should I make it in different way?

My code:

WindowsDriver application;
AppiumOptions desiredCapabilities = new AppiumOptions();
desiredCapabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("app", @"..\pathToApplication.bat");

        application = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), desiredCapabilities);

        Thread.Sleep(20000);

        // LeftClick on Edit "User: " at (90,2)
        Console.WriteLine("LeftClick on Edit \"User: \" at (90,2)");
        var winElem_LeftClickEditUser_90_2 = application.FindElementByName("User: ");
        if (winElem_LeftClickEditUser_90_2 != null)
        {
            winElem_LeftClickEditUser_90_2.Click();
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Failed to find element using xpath: User");
            return;
        }

Error:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException

A better option will be to start the batch file programatically and then create a desktop session as root and switch to the top level window.
