Issue in WPF Automation in QTP 11
#1
Not Solved
I have a windows based .Net application to be automated. I have a pane in my application which is a container control of class which has many embedded controls within it. One of the controls is WPF.

I have a number of Menus placed horizontally in my application which is identifying as WPFList on the whole ( for ex., if i have 10 menus, wherever I spy it is getting identified as Same object(WPFList with same description properties).Each Submenu under the Main menu is getting identified as individual WPFButton.

Automation Scenario

Step 1: I have to click the Main Menu. It will display all the submenus.
Step 2: Click the each submenu and verify that the application opened successfully or not.

Currently am facing the below problem in achieving the above scenario,

When i try to record the above scenario, I am getting the below code in QTP,

Code:
Window ("windowName").WinObject ("ObjectName").WPFWindow ("WpfWindow").WPFButton ("Wpfbutton").Click (Here, the WPFButton is the Submenu under the Main Menu; no action is recorded for the selection of Main Menu)

While executing the above code, I am getting the error "Object not found...”. This error is because Main Menu is not expanded to display the submenu, where the script is supposed to perform the operation.

Major challenge here is that am not able to make the Main Menu visible/expand for the above action of performing the click operation of the submenu. Submenus are visible on mouse over in manual operation. I experimented all the below operation in QTP to expand/Open the Main Menu and nothing worked out on WPF List,
1) Click/Select
2) Fire Event not supported.

Fire event not supported - this is because development team used MVVM (Model-View-View Model) command to handle the operation in WPF object (WPFList/WPFButton), so we cannot trigger the fire event as such.

Net Advantage: I confirmed with the development team and they told that they dint use the Net Advantage.

Is anyone faced this issue? Is there any specific way to trigger the event on the WPFList to make it visible for the script to perform the operation on submenu?

I have a windows based .Net application to be automated. I have a pane in my application which is a container control of class which has many embedded controls within it. One of the controls is WPF.

When we open the container application, more than 10 window applications will be open by default which we cannot close at any point of the time.

I am using QTP 11. Add-Ins used for this application is ActiveX, Web, Java and WPF.

The problem I am facing here is,

When I Check the Web and WPF Add-Inn in QTP and then if i try to open the application, application is getting crashed and closed.

But application opens up fine when I have Web/WPF add-in checked separately.

Currently I am able to work only in this way, Open the application first and then load the QTP with Web and WPF add-inn, but again the problem here is the Web objects are recognized as WinObject, but WPF object is identifying correctly. In this way, we were able to develop the scripts descriptively, but whenever we execute the scripts with both Web and WPF add-In, application is getting is crashed.

Is anybody faced this issue with WPF Automation? Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

Did you tried descriptive.

some thing like below.

Code:
Set descObj = Description.Create
descObj("regexpwndtitle").Value =<var> & ".*"
descObj("wpftypename").Value = "window"
var =WpfWindow(descObj).Exist(0)
MsgBox var
