    Sounds to me like you're trying to automate using a UI that has not been finalized.  If they are adding components daily, that's more than just a dynamic set of page objects.  So, yes, you will be making changes daily until the UI settles down closer to its funal state.

"A tip to add then is also to make sure that you supply enough properties and values to NameMapping or FindChild to be able to pick out the specific object you want out of all the

objects in the tree, especially if there are several that are similar."



Hi robert,

Is there any other alternative to make this faster,

I am working of a wpfpivotgrid and trying to find out ScrollableAreaCell based on 

ValueItem.RowIndex and ValueItem.ColumnIndex




var cell = NavFind.FindChild(this.pivotGridControl, new Property[] { 


                new Property(Prop.ClrFullClassName, FullClass.ScrollableAreaCell),


                new Property("ValueItem.RowIndex","0"),  


                new Property("ValueItem.ColumnIndex","0"),                       


                new Property(Prop.IsVisible,true.ToString())});



Its taking about 5 seconds to come up with a result

any pointers?
