Hi Gogoqaz,

Coded UI in Visual Studio 2012 is supported only for classic apps. It's not supported for Windows 8 Apps in VS 2012.

hi Vikram,

Thank for reply,

Do you know about inspect.exe or VisualUIAVerifyNative.exe? I know this tool can used on windows8 app.

But I only can do 1 step at one time, for example ,

if I start with a random sample app , and this app has three button in same page,

I want to test each the button , so I only can do is run the test with 3 time.

I means that I wonder if there has a way that I can do it with one step?

Thx

Hi qoqoqaz,

Sorry for the late response. And I did a test on my machine, I found that the inspect.exe tool can recognize all controls on the Windows 8 app window. For example, I have 3 buttons in a page, and I can get all of them in that tool. See:

Thanks,
