Cannot cast FrameworkElement to RadExpander

[Joel]

Hi,

I have code that successfully locates a RadExpander control on a Silverlight page using the FindName method of SilverlightApp class.  When I try to cast the resulting FrameworkElement to a RadExpander I get the following error:

• The control type 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Siliverlight.UI.ToggleButton' does not match the xaml tag 'radtogglebutton'

Here is some code that represents what I'm trying to do:

• FrameworkElement element = app.FindName(controlName);
• RadExpander expander = element.As<RadExpander>();

Any clues on why this is happening.  

Thanks.

Joel

Hi Joel,

We are aware of such a problem and have a fix internally.

Our next official build of the framework and Test Studio will go public next week. In the meantime, do you need something RadExpander specific for your tests that you need to use or can you work with the FrameworkElement only? If the problem is a show stopper for you we can prepare a custom build but cannot guarantee it's stability until the build passes all our QA.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Konstantin,

I can wait for the next official build.  Is there a way I can find out when it actually gets released?

Thanks.

Hi Joel,

I don't think there is a way to subscribe to specific release news for the Testing Framework only. We have a Telerik email subscription but it includes all the products. I can ask for details if you are interested.

I will update this thread as soon as the next framework gets released.

Best wishes,

Hello,

Sorry to revive an old thread - but we just encountered the same error message while running one of our tests in WebUI Developer R2010.3.  Here is the extract from the log:

'8/15/2011 6:28:01 PM' - 'Fail' : 63. radexpander: 'Expand' action.

Failure Information:

 The control type 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UI.ToggleButton' does not match the xaml tag 'radtogglebutton'

This test was working fine until our dev team upgraded the test application to the Q2 2011 version of the Telerik controls.

I was wondering if the fix referenced above has been integrated into WebUI Developer?  If so, which version?

Thanks,
Shashi

Hello Shashi,

It appears we added support for the updated RadExpander in Test Studio 2011.1.609.
