    <p>I'm trying to create some Coded UI tests to be used many times over a "set" of WPF controls. I can use the Coded UI test builder to create each test individually, but I am looking to create the "general" case, since each test is very similar, with slight modifications.</p> <p>In order to create this general case, I need to be able to find (then click) a control given the parent (in this case, a <code>WpfWindow</code>; the control I am looking for is a few levels deep, but I want to be able to find the control regardless of depth). I have been able to find the control I'm looking for using <code>AutomationElement</code>, but coded UI doesn't seem to like it, and I am unable to click it once found.</p> <p>I've tried using <code>GetChildren()</code> on the parent window and then recursively searching to find the control in question as well. I am using the <code>SearchProperties</code> to look for the <code>Name</code> and <code>ControlType</code> of the specific WPF control I'm looking for, but it doesn't look like everything has a <code>Name</code> and it fails out.</p> <p>I've also tried just setting the <code>SearchProperties</code> for the specific control, but it throws an exception saying it cannot be found. </p> <p>Any suggestions? Am I going about this the right way, or am I missing something fundamental?</p> <p>An aside to this is: how "bad" is it to have similar Coded UI tests built with the Coded UI test builder? What I mean is, it seem wrong to create 800 different tests using the Coded UI Test Builder that all have the same first 5 steps (with minor differences based on where it is run).</p>

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.
