Test automation for winform application integrated with syncfusion

[Lihi Meshelzon]

Hello,
Our product is a winform desktop application and all our views are using GridGroupingControl to display data in the UI.
The issue is that that grid element can't be found using inspect.exe. 
After looking at old threads regarding this issue I've added :
this.oGrid.AccessibilityEnabled = true;

But when inspecting the element with inspect.exe it returned "Cannot get object from point".

In the past you had support for CodedUI with visual studio 2014 but codedui is now deprecated .

I'm using FlaUi and visualstudio 2017.
Can you please give me any solution so i can patch data from the grid?
Thanks

Hi Lihi, 

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

 

The AccessibilityEnabled is provided to enable CodedUI testing alone. We suspect that the GridGroupingControl does not have compatibility for FlaUi testing. We have forwarded the query to our development team for further validation and we will update you with proper details on 22^nd July 2020.

Hi Lihi, 

 

Thank you for your patience. 

 

We have validated our source thoroughly and the grid retrieves the UI element using AutomationInteropProvider (CodedUI automation elements) only whereas, the FlaUI does not use the System.Windows.Automation.Provider library. So, we regret to let you know that the GridGroupingControl does not have the support for FlaUI and we do not have any immediate plan to consider this in our feature list as the GridGroupingControl is considered as classic control. 

 

Please get back to us, if you need any further assistance.
