Automation IDs in QML

[Aristotle]

In standard Qt Widgets, Windows Automation IDs are added to elements by default when using .ui files or when calling setObjectName for dynamic widgets. For QML elements, there does not seem to be such a construct. Is there a way to set the Windows automation ID for QML elements?

See AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty.

Found the answer to this question myself: It is by setting the objectName property:

Control
{
    objectName: "myAutomationId"
}

This will result in a Group automation element with automation ID myAutomationId.

Found this by looking at https://github.com/faaxm/spix/blob/master/examples/RemoteCtrl/main.qml
