I'm busy running a proof of concept on what should be a very basic coded UI test.

My application is Winforms, I have a form that allows you to log in to the application.

Here 2 controls exist called _textUsername and _textPassword respectively.

To simplify the whole thing, I want playback to be able to double click the username text field (_textUsername).

However, during playback the _textPassword is selected.

I've tried to adjust the search criteria to include the control name , but then it fails to find the control at all and fails.

My question is simple: I have 2 controls on my form : _textUsername and _textPassword, UI coded tests seems to always find the _textPassword, how can I get it to find the other text box instead?

Try manually coding the controls. You can use the UI Test Builder to find the search properties. inspect.exe is also useful. Sometimes the properties aren't what you expect.

 // Controls WinWindow logonWindow = new WinWindow(); WinEdit _textPassword = new WinEdit(logonWindow); WinEdit _textUsername = new WinEdit(logonWindow); // Add search properties and configurations logonWindow.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.Name] = "Main Window Name"; logonWindow.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.AlwaysSearch); _textPassword.SearchProperties[WinEdit.PropertyNames.Name] = "Password"; _textPassword.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.AlwaysSearch); _textUsername.SearchProperties[WinEdit.PropertyNames.Name] = "Username"; _textUsername.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.AlwaysSearch); // Identify each control logonWindow.DrawHighlight(); _textPassword.DrawHighlight(); _textUsername.DrawHighlight();

This turned out to be wrong versions in DevExpress between the client application and the test runner code.
