I'm working with developers of a custom instrumentation control and measurement application for Windows OS. The application UI is a mix of the familiar drop-down menu style with a set of custom side menus as the primary UI interface. Each of the custom menus has a title and a set of "buttons" that either perform a function or open another menu or dialog box.
I am trying to get from the developers a complete list of menu/dialog box titles, but they claim this is not possible. I suspect that every menu title must exist somewhere in the code as a string, and is therefore available in some form.
Does it make sense that this information is technically impossible or too difficult to extract from the code?
