UI Automation Button Style Enabled
- by Victor Gaspar
Hi,
I'm evaluating UI Automation for UI testing for that I have a WPF application with the following button defined:
<Button Style="{DynamicResource ButtonStyle}" x:Name="MyBtn"/>
when I need to visually disable the button I just change the style so the user is aware that the button is disabled (the colour changed) but still the button is internally enabled so I can still launch the OnClick event in order to show a message when the user clicks on a "disabled" button.
Now the problem is that I don't know how to check from UI Automation the Style that its currently applied i.e. if the button is disabled or enabled. Do you know how can I do that?
In a normal situation I should do something like that:
Automation.Condition cEBtn = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "MyBtn");
AutomationElement mybtnElement = appRegraceElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, cEBtn);
bool disMyBtn = (bool)mybtnElement .GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty);
but in my case the button is always enabled therefore I need to check the Style applied to the button.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
