Coded UI compatibility with Telerik controls

Question

Hi,

I am using Web Application that uses Telerik (RadGrid Controls)

ISSUE 1: While recording in Coded UI, the controls ( Dropdowns, tabs, grids) get dislocated from their position. The dropdown becomes too long, the horizontal tabs becomes vertical tabs.

ISSUE 2: Selecting values from drop down lists works fine on play back but on passing the input data through parameters from .csv file to the drop down list shows error. The data is perfectly pulled from .csv and is inputed to the drop down box but on selecting the matching data from dropdown gives error, it shows "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.FailedToPerformActionOnHiddenControlException: Cannot perform 'Click' on the hidden control."

Please help in solving these issues

Thanks in Advance

Hi Navneeth , 

For Issue1. It happens only when you use the SPY  to record right . It happens for me also . But that wont stop you right in automation . 

For Issue2. The Hidden Control , this issue is due to at run time it is not finding the control or it is hidden . Make sure the control is focussed

Since as you said it is DROPDOWN control   , you need to click on it to expand  then the data will be visible .

Are you using record play back for automation >if thats the case  it wont work in these case .You need to code by hand than record play back
