RadGridView - UI Automation

[gawain]

I've trying to test automatically a RadGridView using UI Automation / Coded UI from Microsoft. Everything is fine using the RadGridView built for .Net 3.5 SP2. Each cell is detected and I can click into it to modify the cell's value.
However, we have switched to .Net 4.0 and the corresponding Telerik version. Unfortunately, I'm facing the problem that I am just able to click into the cells of the last rows.

Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

I don't suppose this issue has been solved yet?  We are trying to use UITest here at work and I can't seem to get it to recognize the click on the text in the grid cell.  I have tried to walk up the tree in UITest and add all UI elements, and have then added those as containers (attempting to get past the virtualized elements) to no avail.  It always fails to find the control when the recorded test is played back.  Just checking to see.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the problems with CodedUI Test are still not addressed. We are working on improving some minor issues but for the time being we cannot commit to any specific date or release the availability of full support for UI Automation.

I have written a test app using .net 3.5 and Coded UI Test. I can click on every cell in my RadGridView and it works fine but once I change the target framework from 3.5 to 4 the Coded UI Test fails.
Is there any solution for this?

Hello,

 Are you using our 3.5 assemblies or our 4.0 assemblies?

RadGridView:
Version: 2011.2.920.35
Runtime Version: v2.0.50727
How do I know if it's 3.5 assemblies or 4.0 assemblies?

[Vlad]

Hello,

 The two numbers at the end are the framework version - in your case .NET 3.5. Please try our WPF 4.0 assemblies.

Thanks Vlad,
OK, I got the new assemblies (2011.2.920.40) with 4.0 assemblies the test won't do the job correctly. In my test I select a specific row in the Grid and by using arrow keys I want to move up or down and eventually select a desired row but the focus gets stuck in the second row and won't move up or down. As a result the main test fails. I have tested this in several Grid in my application and all came out with the same result. The only Grid that won't break the test has only one row.

[Ramin]

OK, I got it to work now. I had to override ToString() method in the underlying data object.
I have another issue now. I can select the rows in the Grid with keyboard navigation but when using mouse finding a row fails all the time. Every time I playback the test the last row is selected. As I said, this is fine when I use arrow keys to select a row.
Any suggestion?

Hello Ramin,

Unfortunately, there are some known cases of inconsistent behavior between our automation support for .NET 3.5 and that for .NET 4.0. Would you please send us a simple runnable project that illustrates the issue you have found, so that we could debug it on our side and provide an appropriate solution? Please, excuse us for the inconvenience.

My issues is not around inconsistency between version 3.5 and 4.0. I downloaded 4.0 assemblies and my Coded Test started working with Telerik RadGrid. The problem is inconsistency between Telerik RadGrid and Microsoft DataGrid. With Microsoft DataGrid I can easily use mouse to select rows, cells and update their data but with Telerik Grid this is not possible. Testing this is very simple you just need to have both Grids in a form and record your activity then play it back and see the results. I was not able to fail the test in Microsoft DataGrid but with Telerik Grid the test fails as soon as I use mouse or I start updating a cell.
Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Ivan,

It's been three weeks now from your last response to this thread. I am wondering if there has been any progress in this issue? Testing with CodedUI is very critical for us and we are impatiently waiting for a solution.

Thanks,
Ramin
