AutomationElement Enter functionality and XPath support implemented..

[nijakanthan]

• Bug fixed in AutomationElement Enter functionality.
• Xpath support implemented for the elements without unique property.

var username = loginWindow.Get(SearchCriteria.ByXPath("//window[@AutomationId='Login']/edit[1]", loginWindow));

Properties can be used in XPath
AutomationId - @AutomationId
ClassName - @ClassName
FrameworkId - @FrameworkId
Name - @Name

If AutomationElement LocalizedControlType contains space it should me replaced with -
Example : title bar - title-bar (//title-bar[1])

Could you please split this into three pull request. One for each of the issues / improvements you made.

I would love to see xpath support released.

What I don't like about this xpath solution is that it creates the full graph and then uses xpath to select the appropriate node(s). Wouldn't it be better to implement a custom XPathNavigator which directly navigates the AutomationElements?

You can have a look at https://github.com/Roemer/FlaUI/blob/master/src/FlaUI.Core/AutomationElementXPathNavigator.cs to see an example implementation of a custom XPathNavigator.

Hi Nijakanthan ,
I implemented this #391 changes separately into my classes and getting it as a List.I cannot get it as a return type of SearchCriteria because of Internal constructor.
So now how can i convert it to a Search Criteria.

Thanks,
Tusar
