Finding WPF panel in WinAppDriver

[khoachung89]

In my WPF window, i have panel (stack panel, grid panel...)
In Inspector i can see them

However i cannot select them with WinAppDriver (by accessibility, by class name....)

The other control like button or textbox can still be found normally.
Is there anyway i can get the panel of WPF from WinAppDriver?

UPDATE:
Looks like not only panel, but any control that doesn't have user interaction (a line for example) cannot be selected too. Is it a designation or a bug? I really need the panel coordination and size, without selecting it, how can i get it?

Close this issue because i can find them via XPath.

Hey, i am also facing the same issue, could you please provide the XPath what u have written to access that panel.

@Vasanthi30
You may have a look at your session's PageSource before write XPath query because it's much easier to see than using Inspector.
My example case:
WindowSession.FindElementByXPath("/Window/Pane") will return exactly the pane that I'm selecting in my question's screenshot.
or:
WindowSession.FindElementByXPath("/Window/Pane[@FrameworkId=\"WPF\"]").GetAttribute("ClassName") will return "ScrollViewer"

Many Thanks @khoachung89

Are you creating session similar to the below lines of code?
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", _applicationPath);
appCapabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
Session = new WindowsDriver(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), appCapabilities);

Yes, something like that.
