Question

I have a simple message box in a WPF application that is launched as below:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {    MessageBox.Show('Howdy', 'Howdy'); } 

I can get white to click my button and launch the message box.

UISpy shows it as a child of my window I couldn’t work out the method to access it.

How do I get access to my MessageBox to verify its contents?

Found it! The window class has a MessageBox method that does the trick:

        var app = Application.Launch(@'c:\ApplicationPath.exe');         var window = app.GetWindow('Window1');         var helloButton = window.Get<Button>('Hello');         Assert.IsNotNull(helloButton);         helloButton.Click();         var messageBox = window.MessageBox('Howdy');         Assert.IsNotNull(messageBox);
