Not able to access SyntaxEditor Text via Coded UI (or TestStack.White)

SyntaxEditor for WPF Forum

Hi,

Coded UI recognizes the SyntaxEditor control as a WpfText element (equivalent to a readonly text label). I would have expected that it was recognized as a WpfEdit (equivalent to a textbox). But, even with the WpfText, the DisplayText property comes back as empty. Even going down to the AutomationElement, the Name property comes back as empty.

Is there a way I could access the SyntaxEditor Text from the Windows Automation API?

Thanks,

Sree

Hello,

The SyntaxEditor control implements ITextProvider and IValueProvider.  If you check IValueProvider.Value, it will give you the document's full Text.

Thank you. That was a useful hint.

The latest build of this product (v25.1.3) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
