    I ran into an issue while trying to automate testing of WinForms applications with Selenium / Appium / WinAppDriver.

    C1Label seems not to expose the text or properties through standard Windows UI Automation. This means:

    Inspect.exe cannot see the label text.

    AccessibleName, AccessibleDescription, and AccessibleRole have no effect.

    Selenium / Appium cannot read the text via .Text or GetAttribute(“Name”) like it is possible with the standard label control.

    Is there a solution?
