Date Picker identification issue with CodedUI Test Framework

[Bhagavan]

Hi Team,

We are using VS Coded UI test Framework to test our applications developed with Teleric. We have an application which is using RadDatePicker control from 2014 Q1 release. While automating with CUIT we have noticed that this DatePicker control is identified as Custom control. We would like CUIT to be identifying this control as DatePicker type. So that inorder to set date on the control we can make use of DateAsString property on it [while automating].

We are using CUIT from VS2012 with update2.

Following is the xaml for the sample application on which we can repro the issue:

<Window x:Class="TelerikWpfApp1.MainWindow"
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
                Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
        <Grid>
        <telerik:RadDatePicker HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="149,115,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Hello Bhagavan,

We are aware of this discrepancy with RadDatePicker control type. We tried to register the control as DatePicker/DateTimePicker, but we failed due to some framework limitations. There is no such type in the AutomationControlType enum so we fallback to Custom. We know that the MS DatePicker control is read as DatePicker in the coded UI recorder and we contacted Microsoft if we can get more information how to do the same with the RadDatePicker/RadDateTimePicker control. We haven't received an answer from them for now and we are still waiting. Hopefully they will send us the required information and we will update our code as well.

Hello Bhagavan,

Please note that we consider this as a framework limitation. We will try to find a way to set RadDateTimePicker as DatePicker control type when Microsoft contact us with a solution.

Hi Sutha,

Can you please confirm if you are using DateTimePicker for WPF or for Windows8 as this issue is for WPF?
