WebAii UI testingfreamework - How test in a correct way composite user control

[Rolando]

Hi,
I am doing research about how to test our silverlight app in a correct way, and one question what I would like know is how we should test composite control (for example MyInventoryView.xaml is a view wich  contain a list of itemView.xaml using a ListBox)
something like:
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <xyz:ItemView  ...  />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>


How I should get a list of these itemView objects?

The easy way to get a control when we know the name and the type is 
itemViewSilverlightApp.Find.ByName<DataGrid>("myName");

But what is the way to get when we are talking about specific usercontrol? (shall we add a reference from the project wich has the specific usercontrol??)

Best Regards,
Rolando.

Hi Rolando,
I'm not sure I correctly understand you question?

You want to get all the ListBoxItems from a ListBox control? Here's a code sample that does that for the ListBox found this demo page:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#CoverFlow/Integration

Manager.Settings.Web.EnableSilverlight = true;
    //Settings.Current.Web.EnableSilverlight = True
    // Launch a browser instance
    Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

    // The active browser
    ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#CoverFlow/Integration");

    SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

    ListBox lb = app.Find.ByAutomationId<ListBox>("cityList");

    int counter=1;

    foreach (ListBoxItem lbi in lb.Find.AllByType<ListBoxItem>())
    {
        Log.WriteLine("ListBoxItem " + counter.ToString() +":"+ lbi.Text);
        counter++;
    }

This code will write the text of each ListBoxItem to the test log.
