<p>I have need to retrieve all of the items in a Datagrid from an external application using UIAutomation. Currently, I can only retrieve (and view in UISpy) the visible items. Is there a way to cache all of the items in the Datagrid and then pull them? Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>static public ObservableCollection<Login> GetLogins() { ObservableCollection<Login> returnLogins = new ObservableCollection<Login>(); var id = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("<Name here>")[0].Id; var desktop = AutomationElement.RootElement; var bw = AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ProcessIdProperty, id)); var datagrid = bw.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "lv")); var loginLines = datagrid.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.DataItem)); foreach (AutomationElement loginLine in loginLines) { var loginInstance = new Login { IP = new IP() }; var loginLinesDetails = loginLine.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Custom)); for (var i = 0; i < loginLinesDetails.Count; i++) { var cacheRequest = new CacheRequest { AutomationElementMode = AutomationElementMode.None, TreeFilter = Automation.RawViewCondition }; cacheRequest.Add(AutomationElement.NameProperty); cacheRequest.Add(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty); cacheRequest.Push(); var targetText = loginLinesDetails[i].FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ClassNameProperty, "TextBlock")); cacheRequest.Pop(); var myString = targetText.Cached.Name; #region Determine data and write to return object //Removed private information #endregion } } returnLogins.Add(loginInstance); } return returnLogins; } </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
