UI Automation on Rad Controls

[Omri]

Hi,

I am testing an application containing all kinds of telerik rad controls (ComboBox, DataGridView, TreeView, ect')
unfortunately, NON of them are recongnized by Visual Studio Coded UI Builder!

All I know is that my AUT uses Telerik Rad Controls for ASP.Net - 2010.3.

Please Help!!

Thank you,
Omri

Omri,

At this time I am unaware of any extensions for Rad Controls in Visual Studio Coded UI builder. You could do something like this to get the native HTML element:

Elsewise, you may want to look into Telerik test studio, which is much more robust than Visual Studio :

Hi James,

Thank you for your reply.

I was able to get the Native Element of the Rad Control through  IHTMLElement2 (as described here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsautotest/thread/c38306bd-b45f-4ae2-bbf2-b81ff427f8ba )
But I wasn't able to figure out how to access it's methods or properties.

I was able to activate javascript functions to manipulate the control, and execute it from Coded UI Test, for example:

RunScript(
 "var obj = window.$find('" + id + "');obj.showDropDown(); 
  obj.findItemByText('" + item + "').select();
                  obj.hideDropDown(); ");
 
How can I get all the javascript functions that can be executed on a RadControl? (RadComboBox in this example)

Omri,

Take a look at this:

Hope it helps.

Hi James,

Eventually I was able to get Telerik Test Framework and run all of the javascript client-side methods from there.
at this point, it's a good enough solution for me.

Thank you!
