I am automating a Win32 application using Coded UI under VS 2010.

When using the Inspect Objects tool, I can see the Automation Id for that control. But Coded UI test builder did not expose this property.

How to use that property in the Search configuration.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Since the AutomationId property is not exposed at a Wincontrol(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.uitesting.wincontrols.wincontrol.aspx) for Coded UI, if you want to use it, I am afraid that you need to write your own code to extend it to enable Coded UI to recognize it.

You can refer to the following articles about coded UI extension:
