如何在 c# 中获取已初始化的 IWebElement 的 XPATH

Question

I am using WinappDriver/Appium to automate an windows application project.

I have initialized an Parent WindowsElement using Xpath.

Now once the Element is initialized i want to get the XPATH of the (Parent) Element which was used so that i can get the Child elements using the Parent XPATH.

session = UiaWindowDriver.CreateSession(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), uiaDriverOptions); //WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>
var Window = session.GetWindow("//Window[@Name=\"Sample Application\"]"); //Returns me an WindowsElement

Now as i got the Window (ie Parent Control) i want to get the child elements of the Parent Control.

Any help is appreciated.

Many Thanks !!!

Why create it as a Window? You can just create that as a WindowsElement like...

WindowsElement parentWindow = session.FindElementByXPath("//Window[@Name=\"Sample Application\"]");

THEN this will allow you to look for additional elements isolated to this window like so..

WindowsElement someElement = parentWindow.FindElementByXPath("...");

In some cases it may throw an error related to casting, you can resolve that like so...

WindowsElement someElement = (WindowsElement)parentWindow.FindElementByXPath("...");

I am almost certain this will work in your case.
