[MacRuby-devel] [ANN] AXElements: UI Automation with MacRuby

[Brice Ruth]

This looks very useful. I skimmed through the documentation and didn't see
anything for accessing NSStatusBar applications. Is this possible? Or would
I need to add some hooks in my application to allow the test to open the
windows when launched versus via clicking a menuitem from the NSStatusBar
menu?
