Automating RadTab Items

[Joe]

Hello,

I want to click on a RadTabItem in my automation, but have no idea how to go about doing this.

<!--Manufacturer Tab-->
           <telerik:RadTabItem DropDownContent="Manufacturers" Header="Manufacturers" FontSize="14" Background="Transparent" Padding="20,0,20,0">
               <telerik:RadTabItem.Content>
               .
               .
               .
               .
               </telerik:RadTabItem.Content>
           </telerik:RadTabItem>

Hello Joe,

The easiest way is to identify the TabItem's child TextBlock by TextContent, then click the parent TabItem:

SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

TextBlock tb = app.Find.ByTextContent("Telerik").As<TextBlock>();
RadTabItem rti = tb.Parent<RadTabItem>();
rti.User.Click();

Or you can place the parent RadTabControl into a variable (rtc in the example below) and access a RadTabItem by index:

IList<RadTabItem> list = rtc.Find.AllByType<RadTabItem>();
RadTabItem rti2 = list[3].As<RadTabItem>();
rti2.User.Click();

Greetings,
