WPF Combobox

[Maria Isabel]

Hello,

I am trying to automate tests to my WPF App.

I have one comboBox. I record the test without a problem but when I played back it, it gave this error:

ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Exceptions.ElementFindException: Unable to locate element. Details: Attempting to find [Wpf] element using 
Find logic 
 (Wpf): [name 'Exact' Shdw] AND [XamlTag 'Exact' systemdropshadowchrome][XamlPath 'Exact' /border[0]/contentpresenter[0]/textblock[0]]


Unable to locate element. Search failed!


   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionUtils.WaitForAllElements(IAutomationHost host, AutomationDescriptor descriptor, Int32 timeout)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteStep(Int32 order)


Can you help me?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Maria

Hi Maria,
check out this article:

I can see from the Find Logic generated by Test Studio that this specific element (and possible your entire app) is not well suited for UI automation. Check out this article:
