Locating Elements in Wpf Window fails

[Stephan]

Hey Chummers,

 I f***ing love this Framework!!

However, it seems that I am way to stupid to use it. :-D Hope you can help me out!

I am trying to click on a button, but always get a NotFoundException. So I wrote a small test containing the following code:

01.var app = myManager.ActiveApplication.MainWindow;
02.
03.app.Find.Strategy = FindStrategy.AlwaysWaitForElementsVisible;
04.IList<FrameworkElement> buttonList = app.Find.AllByType("Button");
05.
06.foreach (var element in buttonList)
07.{
08.    Debug.WriteLine(element.Name);
09.}

The output is

PART_SysMinimizeButton
PART_SysMaximizeButton
PART_SysRestoreButton
PART_SysCloseButton

 So it seems my code is only able to address the buttons in the Window-frame so far and I have no idea what do do...

 Any suggestions?

Greetings Stephan

Hello Stephan,

I am glad to hear you like the framework :)

Regarding the problem you are experiencing I can see that some buttons are found. Are those all buttons that are supposed to be found? If yes, as far as I can understand the click step is not performing, since you've missed to provide the original test and the failure details.

So in order to proceed any further please elaborate a bit on your scenario.

Also the best way to proceed is to provide me with your application and the test you are trying to execute so I can take a look. If you're not able to provide the entire application a stripped down version that reproduces the behavior will also do the trick.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
