How can I find a web element using class name

I need to find a web element that I know it has a specific class (but it's not the only class it has). I can't find any suitable implementation of ISearchPattern that does that. Am I missing someth...

Hi,

 

You can add custom properties to the web element search pattern using the Add method as described in the "Understanding Object Identification" article. Here is a quick and simple example:

 

            IControl panel = driver.Find<IWebBrowser>(new WebBrowserPattern()
            {
                ObjectIdentifier = "chrome"
            }).Find<IWebPage>(new WebPagePattern()
            {
                URL = "https://smartbear.com/"
            }).Find<IControl>(new WebElementPattern()
            {
                ObjectType = "Form",
                idStr = "form"
            }).Find<IControl>(new WebElementPattern()
            {
                ObjectType = "Panel",
            }.Add("className", "nav-addition*"), 6);

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.

I am aware of the Add method. My question was more focused on the fact of having multiple classes applied to an element.

 

Is the "*" (in "nav-addition*") doing the trick?
