How to check if a menuItem is visible?

I am currently testing a WPF application and getting all menus and submenus. However, when I use the WPFmenu.Items property, it is giving me all submenus which are not visible on the actual GUI.   ...

Try using the Object Spy tool on that item and open up the Advanced properties.  If you don't see a Visible tag in there, post a screenshot of all the properties and we'll try to help from that.

    Hi Maria,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have tried to spy the object and when I do, it does give me the Visible property.

    However, it also gives me a different way to access the object. Not through the WPFmenu.Items[] field but through a PopupRoot.

    I have also tried to FindAllChildren of this PopupRoot window but it cant return me the correct menuItems.

      Try doing a recording and clicking on a few of the menu items.  Open up the object names that are saved in the recorded test and see how each item is named.  You should be able to access them the same way.
