仅使用编码的ui无法在几台计算机上找到文本框控件

Question

We are using Coded UI Tests with VSTS 2012 Ultimate. We are facing issue to identify a Text Box control which has spell check feature for words typed into the control. This does not happen on every machine, we tried to find if any variable need to set so that it get identified but no use. We found nothing and we are stuck with it.

Please let me know if you have come across any such situation and what could be possible to this solution.

Answer 1

Please check if the visual studio 2012 has update 4 installed. It was an issue with coded UI where it was not able to recognize the control based on search criteria. Updating it solved the problem for me.

Answer 2

//Password Email

        UITestControl uIPassword = new UITestControl(browser);
        uIPassword .TechnologyName = "Web";
        uIPassword .SearchProperties.Add("ControlType", "Edit");
        uIPassword .SearchProperties.Add("id", "login-password");

        Keyboard.SendKeys(UIPassword, "test001");
