I have a desktop app with only one main window implemented in WPF . it is an area in main window( included search textbox that i am trying to find element for automation). this element comes from another view model binded to the main view model. i am using winapp driver framework, and code in C#
please note in binded xmal file i can see AutoamtionID but inspect tools ( inspect.exe, UI recorder, Accessibility tool) cannot find element at all. what should i do? thanks
below snippet showing how addressed in main window xaml file:
<TabItem x:Uid="TabItem_1" Header="MyTab" AutomationProperties.HelpText="Tab for accessing workflow" AutomationProperties.AutomationId="tab1"> <packageViews:PackageExplorerView x:Uid="packageViews:PackageExplorerView_1"/> </TabItem>
from UI Recorder: Xpath
"/Pane[@classname="#32769"][@name="Desktop 1"]/Window[@name="Main Window"][starts-with(@AutomationId,"wpftheme:ThemeWindow_")]/Tab[starts-with(@AutomationId,"TabControl_")]"
Note: no matter on what element i clicked i got the above xpath
