    • In all subcategories (ToolStripButton and others), check the Derived Classes check box.

     

    The config should look like this:

Thank you for the link Alex,

It turns out I tried looking at the menu again after reading a reponse from Helen on another post I had. Adding UI Automation into the project allowed me to reference the controls needed and click them. Problem solved :) Thanks for replying!

    Can you post a screenshot of how the menu looks, and which item you need to click?
