Ho I supposed to identify and user some custom controls

[Mircea-Bogdan]

Hi,


Two weeks ago I started to use WebAii for Silverlight Automation testing. This application is developed in SL 4 and it contains even some custom controls (ie. masek text boxes). Until now I didn't find a solution to identify and type and value in them. Those controls are not derived from text box controls , are delivered directly from controls lib so:

I identified them in this way:

• Control textBox = app.FindName<Control>("textBoxName");

 I tried to fill them in different ways without any result: 

• textBox.User.TypeText("1234as", 500, true);
• textBox.SetProperty(new AutomationProperty("Text", typeof(string)), "1234as");

The problems is that the masked text boxes are still empty even if the property was set correctly (I verified)

I used the second statement: "textBox.SetProperty ..." for a normal text box and it has been filled normally.

Could you please help me to solve this issue ?

Hello Mircea-Bogdan,

All elements in a Silverlight application are FrameworkElement's. Try code like this:

FrameworkElement elem = app.Find.ByExpression(new XamlFindExpression("Name=textBoxName"));
elem.User.TypeText("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.", 20);

Hi Cody,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I tried to implement your solution but still the masked text box remains empty. A horizontal line appears for a while in the bottom of the field, when “the unit test” tries to fill the masked textbox. After that the line disappears and the field remains empty L

Do you have another idea for this issue ?

Thank very much in advice :) and have a nice weekend

Hello Mircea-Bogdan,

I apologize for the delay getting back to you. The volume of technical support requests has been overwhelming lately.

I am unable to repro this problem using our masked text box located on our demo page. Can you point me to a website I can access to see and study this problem? Or can we look at this together in a GoToMeeting?

Kind regards,

Hi Cody,

I'm not able to give you a link to the website which I'm testing. Those masked text boxes which I'm testing are created by Syncfusion.

Below I put you a link with some masked textboxes created by Syncfusion

I hope that you will be able to reproduce my problem with those text boxes

Hi Mircea-Bogdan,

I am still unable to reproduce any problems. I have attached a video showing it playing on my machine, along with the test and data file I used. Would you like to look at this together via GoToMeeting?

Best wishes,

Hi Cody,

Thank you very much for your answer and video. 
Right now I'm a bit busy with other things but within a few days I will back to the automation tests. I will come back to you after I return to the automation tests.

Thank very much and have a nice week
