How to handle wpf visibility=hidden in framework

[cmmdmx]

Hi!

I have a problem: I want to check in a coded UI test, whether elements are visible or not. In WPF, they are declared as visibility=hidden, so a user couldn't see them. But the framework handles those elements as silverlight FrameworkElement. Silverlight only knows visibility=visible or collapsed. hidden is read as visible. Any idea how to fix this?

 

Thanks for help,

Max

Hello Max,

Thanks for contacting us. 

That is one of the discrepancies between Silverlight and WPF. WPF visibility declarations could be visible, hidden and collapsed. As you mentioned these correspond in Silverlight to visible and collapsed. So what is required would be to change the visibility to collapsed so that it would be recognizable for your framework as well. 

Let me know if that helps you.
