AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition failure
by Gregory Cooksey

I am trying to write a tool to send mouse clicks to random positions  
in an application for testing purposes.  How I've been doing this so  
far has been to generate a random position and then call  
AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() with the system-wide element and  
checking whether the resulting AXUIElement belongs to my target  
application.

I've found a problem though: when the point I check is in the title  
bar of an application, AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() fails with  
the kAXErrorFailure condition.  Has anybody out there got any ideas  
why it might be doing this, or other suggestions as to how I should  
determine which application is at a specified position?

Thanks,

-Greg
