Automated testing of grid controls

[Administrator]

I''m trying to automate testing of our derived grid control using NUnit and NUnit Forms.

One issue I have is that when I try to do a test that involves keyboard input, it''s failing because it''s trying to set focus to the grid as a whole instead of the cell in the grid, as each key is pressed.

How can I get the System.Windows.Forms.Control reference of the current cell so that I can have NUnit Forms set the focus there for keyboard input?

Not sure it will work for this setup, but you can try:

this.grid.CurentCell.BeginEdit();

Or, maybe

this.grid.CurrentCell.Renderer.Control.Focus();

You would probably need to check for nulls.

Thanks Clay. That will probably do it. Unfortunately, I''ve just discovered that NUnit Forms has no facility for me to pass it a Control object. It''s got a really screwed up architecture and wants a form and control name. Nor does it even store the actual control reference, so there''s no way to simply add a constuctor to pass in the control. Guess I''ve got some work to do. Thanks.
