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.
Thank you for your post!
I have been looking into it. Currently CodedUI is not support by our controls. What I can suggest is to create a new Product Idea for this for a future version of our controls.
You can suggest new Product Ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
Steps to create your idea:
Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.
Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
Include a link to this thread in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case.
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:
Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:
Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
What I can suggest is to use out TestAdvantage product. This product is designed for creating automation test for our controls. Here is a link from our web site, where you can find more information about the TestAdvantage:http://es.infragistics.com/products/wpf.
Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
