Using the java access bridge functionality, Everything seems to work except "setTextContents"

C#

We are using the Java Access Bridge (windows access bridge DLL) in trying to send text to a java window’s fields. We have initialized the A.P.I., successfully detected a java window (this only works correctly on the second call to the “isJavaWindow” function). We are able to obtain the accessible context via “getAccessibleContextFromHWND”. We then use the context to recurse through the children until we find the text box in question. We are able to use “getTextInfo” function to read the contents of the field and the “getAccessibleContextInfo” function is returning good data. I can see that the property of the field is editable via the accessibleContextInfo data structure, however the “setTextContents” function always returns false. Here is the code snippet usage in C# (we have also tried using Autoit) A.P.I. version 2.0.2

public partial class Form1 : Form
      {
          public Form1()
          {
              InitializeComponent();
          }

          private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
                // enumerate the windows
                JavaAPIFunc.Windows_run();
                bool found = false;
                
                Int32 VmId = 0;
                AccessibleContext Ac = new AccessibleContext();
                AccessibleContextInfo Info = new AccessibleContextInfo();
                foreach (KeyValuePair<intptr,> lWindow in OpenWindowGetter.GetOpenWindows())
                {
                    IntPtr lHandle = lWindow.Key;
                    string lTitle = lWindow.Value;
                    if (JavaAPIFunc.isJavaWindow((HWND)lHandle))
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Found a java window");
                        JavaAPIFunc.getAccessibleContextFromHWND(lHandle, out VmId, out Ac);
                        found = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }

            if(found)
            {
                TraverseTheBullshitInterface(VmId, Ac);
            }
        }

        private AccessibleContext TraverseTheBullshitInterface(Int32 VmId ,AccessibleContext AccessContext)
        {
            AccessibleContextInfo Info = new AccessibleContextInfo();
            AccessibleTextItemsInfo TextInfo = new AccessibleTextItemsInfo();
            JavaAPIFunc.getAccessibleContextInfo(VmId, AccessContext, ref Info);
            
            if (Info.name == "User name:" && Info.role_en_US == "text")
            {
                 JavaAPIFunc.getAccessibleTextItems(VmId, AccessContext, ref TextInfo, 0);
                if(!JavaAPIFunc.setTextContents(VmId, AccessContext, "test"))
                {
                     throw new Exception("Error setting text");
                }
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < Info.childrenCount; ++i)
            {
                TraverseTheBullshitInterface(VmId,JavaAPIFunc.getAccessibleChildFromContext(VmId, AccessContext, i));
            }
            return AccessContext;
        }
    }
