scroll in playback on wrong level

Question

Hey,

after I have recorded my actions I run the tests but when my recording reaches a state where it has to scroll down to click a tree item it waits for about a minute or so before it stops and the test fails.

In the starting state of the window it has only buttons. When a button is clicked a tree is shown below it. The thing is that when it is needed to scroll to reach a button there is no problem, the playback scrolls and finds the button. The button and the scroll bar are on the same level but the tree is on a pane so it is lower than the buttons.

Is there any way I can record the scrolling? or at least use the scrollbar with my own code? or any other way?

Thanks,

Hi

IS this a WPF or win32 tree item? What is the error message. IS it a search failure or blokced control exception?

Thanks

Test method CodedUITestTest.CodedUITest1.CodedUITestMethod1 threw exception:
