    <p>I try to click a custom control on a web page as part of a Coded UI Test. As part of the test, a browser windows is opened using </p> <blockquote> <p>browser = BrowserWindow.Launch(new System.Uri("<a href="http://www.mydomain/MyLoginPage" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydomain/MyLoginPage</a>"));</p> </blockquote> <p>The test then logs in to our system and supposed to click a the custom tab control (similar to tabs on a browser). It then fails saying that the control is not visible with the following error</p> <blockquote> <p>Result Message: Test method MyTest.CodedUITest1.CodedUITestMethod1 threw exception: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.FailedToPerformActionOnHiddenControlException: Cannot perform 'Click' on the hidden control.</p> </blockquote> <p>Nothing seems to block the control but TryGetClickablePoint() returns false, and FindMatchingControls() returns 1.</p> <p>However, when i open the browser and perform the login myself, then start the test from the Click method, it works fine.</p> <p>As far as i know, the custom control is generated using Mocha UI which is based on javascript(i don't know the specifics). The test runs on IE 9.</p> <p>I updated VS2012 with update 4 as suggested in this page <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/09/17/coded-ui-mtm-issues-on-internet-explorer-with-kb2870699.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/09/17/coded-ui-mtm-issues-on-internet-explorer-with-kb2870699.aspx</a> but it didn't make any difference.</p>

    1. COI'm not sure, but perhaps the test tries to click the tab before it is made visible via Mocha UI's JavaScript? Are you doing anything in the test to wait for the page to finish loading?

    2. COI already tried customControl.WaitForControlReady(), which continues immediately! and playback.wait(10000).

    3. COIs it the same Click method you're using when you log in manually, or are you recording a different one?

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.
