Hi,

You wont be able to use a search pattern in this case as className  property does not exist in any of the search patterns. The work around for this is as below

 

IEnumerable<IWebElement> panelObjects = page.FindAll<IWebElement>(new WebCellElementPattern
                {
                    objectType = "Panel"                    
                }, 1000,3000)
IWebObject myPanelObject = panelObjects.Where(l => l.GetProperty<string>("className").Contains("yourclassname"))

You can filter the object with class name you want using LINQ on the collection

panelObjects

.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was looking for something more straightforward and less like a workaround, but I've already had to do this in other use cases.
