Hi,

I got one issue on using WebAii 2.0 for testing Silverlight.

Test case do:

* Lauch browser

* Find the silverlight in page and the stackpanel

So I do this :

C #

                    //Locate the stack panel : ok         
            StackPanel stack = app.FindName<StackPanel>("MyStackPanel");         
                      
            //simulate a Right click on the stackPanel : ok (the RadContextMenu appears)         
            stack.User.Click(MouseClickType.RightClick);         
                     
            RadContextMenu menu = app.Find.ByType<RadContextMenu>();        
            // And I caught an TimeOut Exception         

xaml :

                    <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>         
               <telerik:RadContextMenu name="" >         
                ...         
               </telerik:RadContextMenu>         
            </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>         

When I remove the line : <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>, I didn't catch the timeout exception but I want to use that line...

So Why this doesn't work ? I tried to give a name to the Radcontextmenu (and use app.Find.ByName<RadContextMenu>("menu") instead of app.Find.ByType<RadContextMenu>()), to refresh the visual tree too, but I have the same problem..

Regards,

Thanks

Hello Larah,

Unfortunately that's a known limitation due to the nature of RadContextMenu for Silverlight. The control simply doesn't exist in the SL Visual Tree so the automation framework cannot access it.

I'm afraid there's no workaround for the time being. We can't wait for future version of Silverlight to allow us access all these popups out of the visual tree so we're looking to implement a work-around in WebAii future versions. We will be working on major improvements for the Silverlight support in the next few months and the issue with those popups has top priority in the SL-related list.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and please let us know if we could be of further help.

Best wishes,
