.NET Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Add-in

Add-in Type

This is a Windows-based add-in. Much of its functionality is the same as other Windows-based add-ins.

Supported Environments

For details on supported Windows Presentation Foundation environments, see the WPF Add-in section of the Support Matrix.

Test Object Methods and Properties

The WPF Add-in provides test objects, methods, and properties that can be used when testing objects in WPF applications. For details, see the .NET Windows Presentation Foundation section of the Object Model Reference.

• You can test most custom WPF controls inherited directly or indirectly from the System.Windows.Controls.Control class regardless of which language was used to create the application (for example, Visual Basic, .NET, C#), as well as third-party WPF controls that are inherited from the System.Windows.Controls.Control class and implement automation interfaces.

• You can test WPF controls regardless of what Windows display scaling (DPI) you use.

  Some methods may not work correctly when you use Windows display scaling other than 100%. See Windows display scaling (DPI).

DevExpress Data Grid controls are supported by the WpfDXGrid test object. This test object is part of the DevExpress WPF child add-in and not the WPF Add-in itself.

The DevExpress add-in is installed as part of the WPF add-in. However, by default, this add-in is not loaded. To create test steps on DevExpress Data Grid objects, select the DevExpress add-in when you open OpenText Functional Testing. For details, see the WPF > DevExpress section of the Object Model Reference.

Extending the WPF Add-in

WPF Add-in Extensibility enables you to develop support for testing third-party and custom WPF controls that are not supported out-of-the-box by the OpenText Functional Testing WPF Add-in.

Opening Your Application

You can open your WPF application before or after opening OpenText Functional Testing.
