New Post: Select a row from datagrid

harshadw — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:56:04 GMT

Hi Vivek,
The problem is:
I have a datagrid within which there are two columns, DataGridViewTextBoxColumn and DataGridViewComboBoxColumn(). I need to click on the DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. How can i access it. Following is the source::

            this.dataGridView1 = new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView();
            this.Class = new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
            this.Name = new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
            ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.dataGridView1)).BeginInit();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //
            // dataGridView1
            //
            this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.AutoSize;
            this.dataGridView1.Columns.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumn[] {
            this.Class,
            this.Name});
            this.dataGridView1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 30);
            this.dataGridView1.Name = "dataGridView1";
            this.dataGridView1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(240, 150);
            this.dataGridView1.TabIndex = 0;
            //
            // Class
            //
            this.Class.HeaderText = "Class";
            this.Class.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
            "FE",
            "SE",
            "TE",
            "BE"});
            this.Class.Name = "Class";
            //
            // Name
            //
            this.Name.HeaderText = "Name";
            this.Name.Name = "Name";
            //
            // Form1
            //
            this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
            this.Controls.Add(this.dataGridView1);

            this.Text = "Form1";
            ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.dataGridView1)).EndInit();
            this.ResumeLayout(false);

I tried various methods to access. Please let me know if i am missing something.

New Post: Unable to locate Menu items in MenuBar

nitin_mehra — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:42:33 GMT

In addition to the code mentioned above I have the following variables defined in the designer:

private System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip menuStrip1;
private System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem fileToolStripMenuItem;

I wrote the following code for testing the app:

Core.UIItems.WindowItems.Window window = application.GetWindow("Main Form", Core.Factory.InitializeOption.NoCache);
Assert.IsNotNull(window);
UIItems.Finders.SearchCriteria searchCriteria = UIItems.Finders.SearchCriteria.ByAutomationId("menuStrip1");
UIItems.WindowStripControls.MenuBar menuBar = window.Get(searchCriteria) as UIItems.WindowStripControls.MenuBar;
UIItems.MenuItems.Menu menu = menuBar.TopLevelMenu.Find("File"); //menu variable is null.

I also tried to search using:

menuBar.MenuItem( "File") but this also returns null.

Thanks alot,

Regards,
Nitin

New Post: Unable to locate Menu items in MenuBar

nitin_mehra — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:23:13 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use White for automated testing of a .net 2.0 application. I am trying to find the "File" menu item on the menubar using UISpy but I cannot get a handle to the control. The output window shows me the following error when I try to hover mode to search for the control:
Name : TreeValidationException
Message : UI Automation tree navigation is broken. The parent of one of the descendants exist but the descendant is not the child of the parent
Stack Trace : at UISpy.Base.Tree.BuildTree(AutomationElement element)at UISpy.Base.Tree.BuildTreeAndRelatedTrees(AutomationElement element)

The designer code for creating the menu item is:
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.menuStrip1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip();
this.fileToolStripMenuItem = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
this.menuStrip1.SuspendLayout();
this.SuspendLayout();

//
// menuStrip1
//
this.menuStrip1.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] {
this.fileToolStripMenuItem});
this.menuStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.menuStrip1.Name = "menuStrip1";
this.menuStrip1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 24);
this.menuStrip1.TabIndex = 1;
this.menuStrip1.Text = "menuStrip1";

//
// fileToolStripMenuItem
//

this.fileToolStripMenuItem.Name = "fileToolStripMenuItem";
this.fileToolStripMenuItem.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(35, 20);
this.fileToolStripMenuItem.Text = "File";

//
// MainForm
//
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 266);
this.Controls.Add(this.menuStrip1);
this.IsMdiContainer = true;
this.Name = "MainForm";
this.Text = "Main Form";
this.menuStrip1.ResumeLayout(false);
this.menuStrip1.PerformLayout();
this.ResumeLayout(false);
this.PerformLayout();

}

My problem is that I am unable to navigate the menu because I am unable to search for the control. The same is true for toolstrip. Please help.

New Post: Select a row from datagrid

viveksingh — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:04:05 GMT

I am not sure whether I understand the question correctly.
If you asking how to get a List of columns in Table then you need to use table.Header.Columns.

If you are asking how to get individual items in a combobox then, it is not implemented in white yet. It is possible to do this because UI Automation shows it. You would have to wait for 0.18.

New Post: Children of ListViewCell

vayikra — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:41:34 GMT

Hi,

I have a custom grid-like control that I would like to test using White but I have a problem accessing the children of my grid cells. I have no problem with getting my grid as Core.UIItems.ListView. All of the rows are available from the ListView.Rows and I can also access any cell of any row. Unfortunately I couldn't find a property or a method of the ListViewCell class that returns or searches for children. The automation peer for a cell has several child automation peers that I would like to access and perform operation on - I can see those children using UISpy.
Is there any way of finding those children using White?

Commented Issue: Core.UIItems.UIActionException: Could not make the Win32TreeNode with AutomationId= and Name=My Documents visible, after waiting for 5000 ms.

viveksingh — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:31:11 GMT

Hi.

I am using white v0.1.6.0 and trying to click an item in a TreeView with checkboxes.

The tree view in the target application is basically like windows explorer's left pane of folders of type SysTreeView32.

Tree treeView = window.Get<Tree>();
TreeNode desktopNode = treeView.Nodes.GetItem("Desktop");
TreeNode myDocumentsNode = desktopNode.Nodes.GetItem("My Documents");
myDocumentsNode.LogStructure();
myDocumentsNode.Click();

I also tried myDocumentsNode.Select() but I get the same results except with a different call stack.

Exception:

Core.UIItems.UIActionException: Could not make the Win32TreeNode with AutomationId=<empty> and Name=My Documents visible, after waiting for 5000 ms.

LogStructure:

AutomationId:
ControlType: ControlType.TreeItem
Name: My Documents
HelpText:
Bounding rectangle: Empty
ClassName:
IsOffScreen: False

The "My Documents" tree node is clearly visible in the tree view.

Any thoughts\ideas\work-arounds?

Thank you very much.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: viveksingh **

I should have known this. Seems like a problem which cannot be worked around in white at this point. Unless you want to use keyboard to select tree items. UIAutomation is expected to reveal this information in terms of location and size of node which is missing. I would have investigate these kind of issues as we can hardly get any help from MS in such cases.
I would leave this open.

Angelina — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:09:49 GMT

It is a ListView and calling multiselect method works fine for me.

I've asked if there is a way to use MouseUP/Down, because I wanted to simulate such a behavior in my tests with White - i have several cases for multiselecting which includes :
- multiselect performed by ctrl/shift and mouse click on the row;
- ctrl/shift + key up/down ;
- select row + mouse up/down

Is it possible to simulate mouse up.down in that context?

Thank you.
