How to find Edit Control ？

Open neilyoung2008 opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

FindChildAt(Index）is work，but SOMETIMES the index is not const in different app version， why not add the interface named FindEdit like “FindTextBox" ?

What does the xaml for the control look like?

There is API for finding custom controls but it is not pretty. Something like below should work:

var edit = window.FindFirst(
    TreeScope.Descendants,
    new AndCondition(Conditions.ByClassName("Edit"), Conditions.ByControlType(ControlType.Edit)),
    x => new EditControl(x),
    Retry.Time);

Where EditControl is your custom wrapper.

If this is a WPF control we should definitely support it in a better way.

Can you make a pull request with a window containing the control? Placing it in this folder would be perfect: https://github.com/GuOrg/Gu.Wpf.UiAutomation/tree/master/TestApplications/WpfApplication/Windows
