UISpy shows incorrect tooltip for RadRibbonButton

[Lukasz]

Hi,

After updating WPF controls (from 2013.2.0611 to 2013.3.1016) tooltips for RadRibbonButtons are incorrectly shown in UISpy (and recognized in White framework).
For 2013.2.0611, the HelpText property shows correct tooltip, i.e. the same as set in ToolTip property.
For version 2013.3.1016, HelpText shows "RadRibbonButton" ignoring currently set ToolTip value.

Tooltips are correctly displayed in application UI and the problem concerns only test automation.
Is it expected behavior or there is another way of getting actual tooltip values for RadRibbonButtons?

Regards,
Lukasz

Hello Lukasz,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order to assist you best please elaborate a bit more on your scenario.

1. Do you use Test Studio or Telerik Testing Framework to automate RadRibbonButtons?

2. What is exactly incorrect with the tooltips? You can send us a screen shot.

3. A short video demonstrating the issue also might be useful, you can use Jing in order to record the video.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello,

Thanks for reply, I'm adding more info below:

1. Currently I use White framework for test automation. Telerik Testing Framework looks great but it doesn't work for .NET Framework 4.0.

2. The problem with tooltips is that after updating WPF controls to newer version (2013.3.1016) RadRibbonButton tooltips are not visible by UISpy and also by White framework. Previous WPF controls package (2013.2.0611) worked fine, which means that it was possible to get tooltip text by getting HelpText property of RadRibbonButton control.

Attached screenshot shows how UISpy "sees" the HelpText property of RadRibbonButton control for different Telerik WPF controls packages.

I assume that this problem applies rather to WPF controls than for Telerik Testing Framework or Test Studio. If so, sorry for putting it into testing related category.

Hi Lukasz,

Please elaborate a bit more, what do you mean by Telerik Testing Framework doesn't work for .NET Framework 4.0? It works without any problems with .NET Framework 4.0.

You can post the questions related to WPF Telerik controls here.

Hope this helps.
