How to find the Popup element in WPF?

[DingpingZhang]

I have readed the issue #419 , but it don't work for me. I want to find a MenuItem element in a WPF program, and I get the XPath by the following two way. They provide different values, but they can NOT find the element.

1. Inspect.exe: It thinks that MenuItem is an element on WPF Window.

2. WinAppDriverUiRecoder: It thinks that MenuItem is a Window (Popup) on root (Desktop).

What's more, I found a horrible thing: the following two pieces of code differ only in one line (winElem1.Click()), however, using the same XPath and session, the elements obtained before and after the change are different. It looks like the winElem1.Click() emptied the entire desktop element!

It seems to me that we don't have any possibility to get elements under the PopupRoot element in the WPF visual tree. Is that assumption correct? Background: How to work with Comboboxes / DropDownButtons with Flyout open?
