C＃CodedUI：无法找到控件

Question

I am finding it strange that I'm unable to find the control if I set Playback.PlaybackSettings.SearchTimeout , if I remove then it`s finding the control I want.

Below is my code:

Playback.PlaybackSettings.SearchTimeout=5000;

WinTabPage tab=new WinTabPage();
this.Tab = new WinTabPage(this);
this.Tab.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.Name] = "Some Tab";
Tab.WaitForControlEnabled(3000);
Mouse.Click(Tab);

Error I`m getting is: Playback failed to find the control with the given search properties.

But the same works if remove searchTimeOut which I have set.

Answer 1

The search timeout property on Playback settings determines the max amount of time coded ui engine will search for a contorl before failing the test with exception.

it's in miliseconds - so for your example you define max 5 sec search time.

the default value is 2 minutes.
