I'm using a SimpleTextBlock (but not in a xamDataGrid) and when I use Coded UI Test Builder to the find the control, the "DisplayText" property in CUI Test Builder comes up with an empty string instead of what it should contain, the "Text" property of the SimpleTextBlock. If I use UI Spy in place of Coded UI Test Builder, a similar thing happens, but in UI Spy, the property that is not populated is called "Name".
The SimpleTextBlocks were previously TextBlocks, and the automation worked correctly.
What does it take to get this to work again using SimpleTextBlocks?
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your post.
I have been looking into it, but it seems like I am missing something about your scenario, so if this is still an issue for you, could you please send me, an isolated sample project, where this is reproduced, so I can investigate it further for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
This simple XAML reproduces it:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:igWindows="http://infragistics.com/Windows" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <StackPanel> <igWindows:SimpleTextBlock Text="STB" /> <TextBlock Text="TB" /> </StackPanel> </Grid> </Window>
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run this WpfApplication1 app.
2. Open a new Visual Studio Coded UI Test Project (under Templates > Visual C# > Test)
3. In the CUI project, choose the Test | Generate Code for Coded UI Test | Use Coded UI Test Builder menu item.
4. Move the mouse cursor over the TB TextBlock in the running WpfApplication1 app.
5. Press Ctrl+I.
6. The TB TextBox is highlighted and a popup appears (from VS) and inside the popup the DisplayText property correctly says "TB".
7. Now move the mouse cursor over the STB SimpleTextBlock in the running WpfApplication1 app.
8. Press Ctrl+I.
Expected: "STB" should appear in the DisplayText property.
Actual: DisplayText is empty.
