How to all the urls of the open tabs of a browser

I am trying to read all the urls of all the tabs of a browser i.e. google chrome.By the below code i am able to get only the active tab url.But i want all the urls of the tabs of a browser.

below is the code

System.Diagnostics.Process[] procsChrome = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("CHROME");
foreach (Process proc in procsChrome)
{
string procname = proc.ProcessName;
// the chrome process must have a window
if (proc.MainWindowHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
continue;
// to find the tabs we first need to locate something reliable - the 'New Tab' button
AutomationElement root = AutomationElement.FromHandle(proc.MainWindowHandle);
var SearchBar = root.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Address and search bar"));
if (SearchBar != null)
{
string str = (string)SearchBar.GetCurrentPropertyValue(ValuePatternIdentifiers.ValueProperty);
}
}

Even i tried below one also

private string GetUrl(BrowserType browser)
{
if (browser == BrowserType.Chrome)
{
//"Chrome_WidgetWin_1"
Process[] procsChrome = Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome");
foreach (Process chrome in procsChrome)
{
// the chrome process must have a window
if (chrome.MainWindowHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
{
continue;
}
//AutomationElement elm = AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
// new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ClassNameProperty, "Chrome_WidgetWin_1"));
// find the automation element
AutomationElement elm = AutomationElement.FromHandle(chrome.MainWindowHandle);
// manually walk through the tree, searching using TreeScope.Descendants is too slow (even if it's more reliable)
AutomationElement elmUrlBar = null;
try
{
// walking path found using inspect.exe (Windows SDK) for Chrome 29.0.1547.76 m (currently the latest stable)
var elm1 = elm.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Google Chrome"));
var elm2 = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker.GetLastChild(elm1); // I don't know a Condition for this for finding :(
var elm3 = elm2.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, ""));
var elm4 = elm3.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.ToolBar));
elmUrlBar = elm1.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Address and search bar"));
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.ToString();
// Chrome has probably changed something, and above walking needs to be modified. :(
// put an assertion here or something to make sure you don't miss it
continue;
}
// make sure it's valid
if (elmUrlBar == null)
{
// it's not..
continue;
}
// elmUrlBar is now the URL bar element. we have to make sure that it's out of keyboard focus if we want to get a valid URL
if ((bool)elmUrlBar.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.HasKeyboardFocusProperty))
{
continue;
}
// there might not be a valid pattern to use, so we have to make sure we have one
AutomationPattern[] patterns = elmUrlBar.GetSupportedPatterns();
if (patterns.Length == 1)
{
string ret = "";
try
{
ret = ((ValuePattern)elmUrlBar.GetCurrentPattern(patterns[0])).Current.Value;
}
catch { }
if (ret != "")
{
// must match a domain name (and possibly "https://" in front)
if (Regex.IsMatch(ret, @"^(https:\/\/)?[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}).*$"))
{
// prepend http:// to the url, because Chrome hides it if it's not SSL
if (!ret.StartsWith("http"))
{
ret = "http://" + ret;
}
return ret;
}
}
continue;
}
}
}
return null;
}

The line high lighted is throwing exeception object refernce is null

Finally i was able to sort it out by below code

public void Checkurl()

{

try

{

Process[] procsChrome = Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome");

if (procsChrome.Length <= 0)

{

MessageBox.Show("Chrome is not running");

}

else

{

foreach (Process proc in procsChrome)

{

// the chrome process must have a window

if (proc.MainWindowHandle == IntPtr.Zero)

{

continue;

}

AutomationElement root = AutomationElement.FromHandle(proc.MainWindowHandle);

Condition condition = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.TabItem);

var tabs = root.FindAll(TreeScope.Descendants, condition);

foreach (AutomationElement tabitem in tabs)

{

string urlname = tabitem.Current.Name;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

ex.ToString();

}
