How to test UI interaction of Silverlight dialogs?

I am using Silverlight 3.0 Unit Testing, version Silverlight Toolkit November 2009.

Apart from unit tests, it allows to do UI interaction tests, typically using AutomationPeer subclasses (eg ButtonAutomationPeer to interact with a Button).

Are there AutomationPeer classes to test the interaction with the following:

  • OpenFileDialog
  • SaveFileDialog
  • MessageBox

In unit tests it would be possible to stub these, but for integration and browser testing it would be great to have this testable.

Solution

  • Not as far as I know.

    This is a difficult one to automate because these user interactions happen in operating system dialogs, not in Silverlight.
