I am using Appium with WinAppDriver to control a WinForms / WPF application.
I am looking for a programmatic way to get the list of properties available on an element that has been retrieved.
My current thinking is to ask for the className and use this to look up a static dictionary of properties I have pre-configured.
var element = driver.FindElementByXPath(xPath);
var properties = element.getProperties(); // Is there something I can call here?
This is not the greatest solution but I figured I would mention it just in case someone else might find it useful:
It is possible to get the xml of the pagesource and look at the properties there. This can be accomplished by calling driver.PageSource which will return an xml string.
Hope someone finds this useful.
You can use element.GetAttribute("Value") to get the value. You can also use other attributes like LegacyState, Value.Value, IsEnabled, IsOffscreen, ControlType etc. You can catch hold of the list of attributes in Inspect.exe (UI access)that comes with windows tools

Has anyone tried "Microsoft UI Automation" for web application?
I have a WPF application which has a embedded wpfbrowser.
Since this is basically a desktop app, I cant use Selenium Webdriver.
I tried CodedUI but i am facing a issue, Which i have asked here:
Coded UI - Unable to identify a html controls on a Wpfbrowser
I am planning to use UIAutomation, But again itseems that i am unable to identify a control using id property
Ex:
<button id="but1">Click Me</button>
For this i have:
PropertyCondition ps = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "but1");
AutomationElement Clickme = elementMainWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, ps);
But this is not working. "Clickme" is null.
How to do this is UIAutomation??
EDIT: Attaching a screeshot:
I would try actually navigating the tree view down to the control you are looking for instead of doing it based on decedents. Also another thing you could try is doing a retry loop if it is null. Here is an example of a generic Retry for FlaUI. So your code would look something like this.
PropertyCondition ps = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "but1");
Func<AutomationElement> func = () => elementMainWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, ps);
Predicate<AutomationElement> retry = element => element == null;
AutomationElement clickMe = Retry.While<AutomationElement>(func, retry, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
So this code will retry finding the element for 1 second and will retry finding it if the element comes back null or it exceptions. If either of those happens it waits 200 milliseconds and tries again. This will tell me if the elements are just not rendered when you try to find them or if their is a difference between how inspect finds them and how System.Windows.Automation is finding them.
If this doesn't work I will post a solution using the tree walker but I suggest using this solution over the tree walker because if this was an application others would want to write automation against they would expect these functions to work the way you are attempting to use them.
Not sure if <button id="but1"> equals with automationId. You can set automation id using AutomationProperties.AutomationId="but1" if you can use that namespace in the code where you define your UI (XAML), which is probaly only for WPF applications.
In your case if your UI defined in HTML I think you can use the button's caption.
So something like this.
var ps = new AndCondition(new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Button),
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Click Me"));
AutomationElement Clickme = elementMainWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, ps);
ControlTypeProperty can help in filtering results by type. Not mandatory, but it can help if you have automation elements with different type, but with same name property.
Im trying to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document.Close() in a .net 3.5 windows form app.
No matter how much I search here and on Google I cannot find the correct parameters to put in the Close method.
I am using version 14.0.0.0 of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and I would like to close the document without saving and ideally ensure that the application can isolate the document thread so that users can still open word documents outside the running application.
See the Close method of the Document class described in MSDN. If you need to omit the parameter and use the default value - pass the Type.Missing parameter.
Try this:
object doNotSaveChanges = Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
_Document.Close(ref doNotSaveChanges, ref missing, ref missing);
This is the source
I'm not sure if you'll need the middle line or not. It's not from the original source it's from here
I am trying my hands on extjs 4.2.2 on a UI development. I am totally new to this. I am unable to understand how to print the objects for which i dont know the properties. Can someone please help me out in this.
If i know the property of the object i can do it as below.
console.log('print: ' + myObj.get('name'));
But if i dont know the property(in this case name) how can get to print it? Is there any way of iterating the object properties and print it. Kindly help me on this.
Yes, you can iterate through properties of an object using for .. in loop
for (var prop in obj) {
console.log("o." + prop + " = " + obj[prop]);
}
Another way would be to encode the object to string:
console.log(Ext.encode(o))
However, I usually log the complete object console.log(o) and the I use the console UI to browse through properties of interest.
In addition, you might want to consider installing the 'App Inspector for Sencha plugin' from the Google Chrome app store, its a free plug in from Sencha. Very handy, easy to use visual tool to peek under the hood and view components and their methods, properties and values, view what stores exist and the data in them, view the layout, view the events and record which events are getting triggered.
Also, worth considering is using Ext.ComponentQuery which I find very useful. I tend to use this directly in the web browser console window and in my EXTJS console.log statements.
These links will help explain ComponentQuery

I have below requirement:
I wanted to create a custom control in which developer should be able to access below three properties.
Label:
IsRequired
content.
Example 1:
Name(Label): TextBox/any input control(Content)
Example 2:
Name(Label)*(IsRequired): TextBox/any input control(Content)
Developer should be able to apply globalization to the Label
If the field is required then he should be able to set a property
to enable * symbol
Developer should be able set any input control as a content of the control.
I request your suggestions, if you send me a sample code that would be good for me.
This demo doesn't seem latest but should be a good start. Googling around a bit more with the keywords found in the demo will also yield some relevant results.
Does anyone know how to override the GetTileLayers for a collection in the MultiScaleTileSource class. I want to set the source to a xml document ( which is a deep zoom collection doc ). I need to remap where the images come from and the filename format.
This is simple with a single image, but how do you do it for a collection?
Anyone?
thanks

It might not be officially possible. Check out this thread.
A related question might be why the tileImageLayerSources argument of MultiScaleTileSource.GetTileLayers is not specifically a collection of Uris and why is it a collection... i.e. why would we want to add multiple Uris in one call?
The easiest way to do "dynamic" deep zoom is instead of setting the source for the MSI directly to the XML, set it to an ASPX handler that returns the xml you generate on the fly. If you're not sure what I'm saying, let me know and I can reply with more detail.
