WPF recording not using x:Uid for element determination?

[Geert]

When first trying the software on a WPF app, it was using the [TextBlockValue]TextBlock for the names. Since the value of the text block can change (and we need to check whether the name is valid), I added x:Uid to all elements we want to test.

However, it looks like test studio is still preferring [TextBlockValue]TextBlock instead of the x:Uid to search for the element. Is there any way we can force Test Studio to look at the x:Uid instead?

Thanks!

Hello,

You should be able to change the find logic of the element as shown in this article.

If you still experiencing any difficulties please provide your WPF application and a sample project/test so we can review the behavior.

Thanks for the reply. When inspecting the properties, this is what I see in the properties window of a button with a Uid:

<Button Uid='17668543'>

In code the button is defined as:

<Button x:Uid="fixItButton">​

 Is this a "feature" of WPF or Test Studio?

When checking out the xaml via .NET reflector, it looks good (it can see that the x:Uid is fixItButton.

Hello Geert,

We will need the application or a sample that represents the problem. I couldn't reproduce this with an wpf application on my end.
