Finding and Expanding a RadSlidingPane

[LQKerry]

Hello,

Hopefully a quick question or two regarding working with the RadSplitter/RadPane/RadSlidingZone/RadSlidingPane wrappers of the Testing Framework. From my MSTest script I am attempting to find the appropriate RadControl on the page that will allow me to expand the RadSlidingPane so that the content becomes visible. I have had no success. The following is a snippet of the source code (I believe it should be enough to show what I am working with):

<telerik:RadSplitter ID="RadSplitterActivityPage"

            runat="server"

            Width="100%"

            Height="100%"

            Orientation="Vertical">

            <telerik:RadPane ID="RadPaneFilter"

                runat="server"

                Width="20px">

                <telerik:RadSlidingZone ID="RadSlidingZoneFilter"

                    runat="server">

                    <telerik:RadSlidingPane ID="RadSlidingPageFilter"

                        runat="server"

                        Width="200px"

                        Title="Filter"

                        Scrolling="Y">

                        <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanelFilter"

                            runat="server"

                            Height="99%">

                            <div style="margin:5px;">

                                <label class="riLabel">Start Date:</label>

                                <br />

                                <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePickerStartDate"

                                    runat="server"

                                    Width="100%">

                                </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

                                <br />

                                <label class="riLabel">End Date:</label>

                                <br />

                                <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePickerEndDate"

                                    runat="server"

                                    Width="100%">

                                </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

Etc, etc, etc......

From the Testing Framework API I can see that RadPane and RadSlidingZone wrappers are the only two that have the "Expand" method. I have tried both with no success. So, I assume I am either not "finding" the appropriate element on the page, or in the case of the Expand method for the RadZlidingZone wrapper I am not providing the appropriate value for the "id" parameter.

Can anyone please provide me some guidance? Much appreciated in advance!

I am happy to say that I took a fresh look at this first thing this morning and I was able to figure this out. The following is the basis of how I got it to work:

private RadSlidingZone _filterSlidingZone;
private RadSlidingPane _filterPane;

//Filter Pane
HtmlFindExpression filterPaneExpr = new HtmlFindExpression("id=?RadSlidingPageFilter", "class=~rspSlidePane");
_browser.WaitForElement(filterPaneExpr, 20000, false);
_filterPane = _browser.Find.ByExpression<RadSlidingPane>(filterPaneExpr);

//Filter Sliding Zone
HtmlFindExpression filterSlidingZoneExpr = new HtmlFindExpression("id=?RadSlidingZoneFilter", "class=~rspSlideZone");
_browser.WaitForElement(filterSlidingZoneExpr, 20000, false);
_filterSlidingZone = _browser.Find.ByExpression<RadSlidingZone>(filterSlidingZoneExpr);

_filterSlidingZone.Expand(_filterPane.ID);
