Hi,

I am trying to test a WPF application using the UI-Automation framework that MSFT provides. There were a few powershell scripts written that invoked the cmdlets created to manipulate the visual controls of the application.

There is a DropDown within my application that has an entry 'DropDownEntry'. In my cmdlet, I am trying to do something as follows:

 AutomationElement getItem = DropDown.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants,
 new AndCondition(
 new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty,ControlType.ListItem),
 new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "DropDownEntry",PropertyConditionFlags.IgnoreCase)));

The above given snippet returns 'null' upon execution which essentially means that the above given logic was unable to find my dropdown entry.

Can somebody tell me why this might be happening? I checked the name of my control and the values. Everything seems to be in order. I am not sure why this would be happening. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
