Auto generating CodedUi

Question

All

Currently our developers are looking to use T4templates to auto generate the code for some objects, is there anyway that we can use the same technology to auto generate Uimaps?

Thanks

AndySaville,

T4 Templates run at compile time.  Your suggestion would be really cool if it were possible, but consider that some controls are dynamic and determined at run time.  You could potentially rig up some code to auto generate a UIMap if all of your UI elements were static.

As is, if you need to add new elements to an existing UIMap you can use the "Add Control to UI Control Map" button in the test editor as described in this post:http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/shair/archive/2010/08/08/coded-ui-test-tip-4-add-unused-controls-to-ui-map.aspx

Cheers,
