    Hi,

    I'm trying to automate Silverlight child windows using the free WebAii automation framework (latest available official release). I'm using the popup tracker provided in the Telerik.WebUI.PopupTracker assembly shipped with this build to track my child window in my application, which works without any indication of an error. However, when I try to find my child window by using app.Find.ByAutomationId("MyDialogAutomationId") and various other variations on that theme, I get a TimeoutException.

    Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a workaround? Is there something else I have to do to make automation of Silverlight child windows possible?

    Cheers,
    Kristian

    Hi Kristian,

    The childwindows and popups are in the App.Popups collection.

    You can try the below

    Button cancelButton = app.Popups.FirstOrDefault().VisualTree.Find.ByName<Button>("CancelButton");

    Refer the below for reference

    Thanks

    Hi Kristian Freed,

    Can you share with us your code you're using for your Silverlight automation? I also wonder if you enabled Silverlight in the settings object. For example:

    Settings settings = GetSettings();
    // Override the settings you want. For example:
    settings.EnableSilverlight = true;
    // Now call Initialize again with your updated settings object
    Initialize(settings, new TestContextWriteLine(this.TestContext.WriteLine));


    Kind regards,

    I didn't realize the child windows were in a separate collection, now that I look for them in the right place everything works as expected. Thank you!
