如何使用编码的UI测试获取Wpf DataGrid的全部内容

Question

We are automating a WPF application. The ui maps turn any DataGrid object we try to target into a WpfControl object.

We are able to explore the children and extract header and cell info from that object. However only the visible Grid contents are available and that object doesn't have any properties like ScrollIntoView which would aid in consuming the contents that is currently OffScreen.

Surely there is a way to consume an entire DataGrid ...???

Thanks In Advance, Jeff

Answer 1

The way I have done it before is to write a subscript which iterates over each cell using the keyboard, and then gets the data by copying the text to the clipboard and then retrieving it into the program. I can usually get it to go through 5-10 cells per second, which is not incredibly fast, however it works.

I'll get to work tomorrow and I can grab you the code for it if that doesn't make sense.
