I am using Silverlight 3.0 Unit Testing, version Silverlight Toolkit November 2009.

Apart from unit tests, it allows to do UI interaction tests, typically using AutomationPeer subclasses (eg ButtonAutomationPeer to interact with a Button).

Are there AutomationPeer classes to test the interaction with the following:

OpenFileDialog
SaveFileDialog
MessageBox

In unit tests it would be possible to stub these, but for integration and browser testing it would be great to have this testable.
