[Solved] How to open a RadContextMenu using AutomationPeer?

[Kori]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a RadContextMenuAutomationPeer to open a RadContextMenu, but I can't seem to get it to work.  Since there are no Providers on the RadContextMenuAutomationPeer class, I've tried using AutomationPeer.RaiseAutomationEvent(AutomationEvents.MenuOpened) and AutomationPeer.RaiseAutomationEvent(AutomationEvents.ToolTipOpened), but neither seem to work. 

Right now I'm using the workaround of calling RadMenuItemAutomationPeer.Invoke() directly without opening the menu first, but I'd like to better match what the user would actually be doing. 

Is there a way to open the context menu for UI automation?

Thanks,
Kori

Hi Kori,

Unfortunately the current version (Q2 2009 SP2) of the AutomationPeer of RadContextMenu do not support opening the control. I implemented IExpandCollapseProvider that will allow you to Show/Hide the context menu and the upcoming internal build this friday will contain the updated assemblies. If you need this feature earlier, please, open a new support ticket and I will send you the binaries.

Your points have been updated.
