c# UI Automation for OpenGL

Is it possible to inspect GUI elements for OpenGL windows applications, as it is possible to do it with native windows apps or any app done in WPF or windows forms? I would like to be able to read text of labels, textboxes in the OpenGL application, didn't manage to do it with UIAutomation with c#, nor with Selenium.
Unfortunately, no. OpenGL is a rasterisation API: by the time the UI element data reaches OpenGL, it is already in a format describing how to draw rectangles and the pixels of the font, not abstract UI element descriptions.
Your best bet is OCR.

How to implement ReaderPageViewer in Windows Phone 8 C#

How to implement ReaderPageViewer in Windows Phone 8 C#......
Hi,
We are working on windows phone8 reader application.We are stuck in our reader page.Because we have a magazine with 60 pages,each page should fit on the screen in a panorama control.And it should support pinch zoom on each item.
We can fit the panorama page in a full screen,when we use panoramaitem template with orientation horizontal.Otherwise it does not support full screen and we need to block last to first navigation.
Is it possible to do any other pageviewer mechanism in windowsphone 8 other than pivot and panorama control?

2D animation framework for windows store apps

I am trying to develop a user interface which involves creating train sets on the canvas. I am planning to create this as a windows store app. I have some experience in Silverlight and xaml. I am planning to make my app in C# and Xaml.
I have done some research on the web and I could not find any decent framework which support following animations and UI activities:
Drag and drop controls
Snapping of controls
Reordering snapped controls
Drop-shadow effects for control
I know how to di all these in Silverlight world but the windows store xaml put some limitations. Could anyone suggest some framework or perhaps code samples that could be useful for me.
The GridView control offers drag and drop, snapping and reordering of items right out of the box.

Is it possible to test touch gestures with a "non-touchable" laptop?

While developing Windows Store apps and WP8 apps, is it possible to test the "touch" gestures while using a laptop that doesn't support touch? Are there parallel mouse or keyboard actions/combinations that will do the same thing as a "pinch" or a "flick" gesture (to imitate semantic zoom and unzoom) for example?
When you use the simulator, there are buttons at the right that let you simulate multi-touch. It's not convenient, but it mostly works.

I haven't been able to use the WP8 SDK yet but if the SDK is like WP7 (from what I hear from others it is) use the simulator that comes with the SDK and use Multitouch Vista to emulate the touches with this Guide to using Multitouch Vista. You will just need any other USB mouse (note though using the built-in trackpad as another mouse has been hit and miss in my experience with Multitouch Vista)
For Windows Store Apps the easiest way to simlute gestures only us by using the provided simulator. You can still use Multitouch Vista but the dots to track the points won't show in the Metro Environment.

Toolbar with VLC ActiveX in VB.NET

I've used the VideoLAN VLC ActiveX Plugin 2 (available in the VLC 0.9.4 installation) in my VB.NET App.
I've noticed that:
The controller toolbar (seek bar, control buttons, volume) do NOT appear at all
Even after playing a file
And the "Toolbar" property cannot be set to TRUE, read-only?
So my questions are:
Is the "Toolbar" property a useless thing or is there a special way to get it to TRUE?
Will the Toolbar appear at all or would I have to implement it myself?
If I have to make a custom seek slider with control buttons, what are the API calls I can use to control media playback and seek-to-frame? VB.NET?
Is there ANY other way I can get the VLC player with its Toolbar in my App? Libvlc?
^ This is the toolbar that I would like to have in my VB.NET App.
the toolbar is not implemented on Windows VLC ActiveX control
