I have Windows 10 and just did the 1803 upgrade. Before the upgrade I had no issues with recording Internet Explorer, but now when I try to record I get "Unable to launch recorder" error. I do notice the browser is coming up very slowly, so that could be the issue. The log is as follows:

If it is the browser coming up too slowly, how can I delay the recorder so it will attach when the browser is ready?

I have a few tests in my suite, and the only way I can really verify that something is occuring the way it is supposed to, is by saving a screenshot of that specific element area and comparing it to another file.
I have custom implemented code that handles the actual comparison itself exactly how I want to.
The thing I'm having the most issue with is trying to figure out the best way to take a screenshot of the element I'm comparing. It is a div with a bunch of img's inside of it.
I basically want to be able to screenshot the div, with all of the img's inside it, and compare that screenshot to a predetermined image.
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hello.
I have form with mandatory fields in WPF application and code that makes tests based on Telerik Testing Framework. When my controls (TextBoxes in this case) are in error state they are outlined with red border (as it is shown in the attached file). Windows control TextBox has properties Validation.HasError and Validation.Errors (collection). Visibility of red border depends on them. But wrappers such as ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UI.TextBox does not expose access to Validation. I tried to get access to the red border that is actually made by AdornerDecorator through the VisualTree. But ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.Wpf.AdornedElementPlaceholder does not have AdornedElement property that exists in the wrapped AdornedElementPlaceholder and allows to connect certain Adorner with the TextBox element it is created for.
Is there any approach how I can check in code fields validation state ?

Hello,
I have an issue with some tests that are using Simulate Real Click. Recently a new component was added to the tested application. This component it's added by loading a javascript in the web page (I moved the javsacript in head, body, outside body is the same behavior).
The javascript is inserting a div element in the DOM. Instead of clicking on the needed element from the page, test studio it's clicking on the loaded div by javascript instead of correct DOM element. The needed element it's searched in the DOM by using id and css class .
Is this normal? How can we correct this?
The telerik test studio version is : 2016.3.928.0
Thanks,
Alex
