How to get property like LegacyIAccessible.State: or Toggle.ToggleState: of CheckBox control

[Manvibha]

Hi,

I am working a POC with WPF application and trying to properties of checkbox control to check checkbox is checked or not and take a required action further. below is code where I am trying to other property of checkbox at runtime.
WindowsElement cellObj = session.FindElementByAccessibilityId("Checkbox");
if (cellObj.GetAttribute("Toggle.ToggleState:").Contains("Off"))
{
cellObj.Click();
}
In the above code , trying to get a attribute Toggle state or LegacyIAccessible.State: and see what is the state of checkbox. But this returns NULL all the time and for other attribute of checkbox as well.
Is there something that I am doing wrong . Any suggestion welcome. :)
Or
Is This something WinAppDriver lacks as of now and any enhancements in next release?

regards,
Mahi

Hi @Manvibha,

Can you please try the same approach that checkbox in UWP app is being tested below?
https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver/blob/master/Tests/UWPControls/CheckBox.cs#L104

In UWP app a CheckBox UI control Selected property returns true when it is checked and false otherwise. E.g.

var originalState = checkBoxElement1.Selected;
checkBoxElement1.Click(); // Toggling the state
Assert.AreNotEqual(originalState, checkBoxElement1.Selected);
checkBoxElement1.Click(); // Toggling the state
Assert.AreEqual(originalState, checkBoxElement1.Selected);

I want to know the disable checkbox is checked or not but i am not getting the value either it is checked or not. i have used (LegacyIAccessible.State:) and Toggle.ToggleState it is showing always false what is the reason? my checkbox is actually disabled and we cannot checked or unchecked.

Consider making a method like:

private void ToggleCheckbox(AppiumWebElement checkbox, bool checked)
{
if(checkbox.Selected.Equals(checked)) return;
checkbox.Selected = checked;
}
