TestLeft can simulate user actions and access internal properties and methods of various standard Windows controls. You can also command your tests to recognize your custom controls as standard Windows controls to simulate user actions against them.
About Supported Standard Windows ControlsAbout Supported Standard Windows Controls
TestLeft identifies standard Windows controls in applications and automatically cast them to interfaces that extend the control functionality with a number of additional methods and properties.
You use those methods and properties to simulate various actions against the controls, for example, select control’s items or get the item text.
Supported Classes
TestLeft recognizes controls by their class name. Below is a full list of the Windows controls that TestLeft supports.
| Note: | Class names can contain asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards. The asterisk corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark - to any single character. |

Recognizing Custom Controls
To command TestLeft to recognize your custom controls as standard Windows controls, cast your control to the interface of the appropriate type.
If your control does not fit the type of the control, for which the interface provides support, it may improperly respond to commands that TestLeft will send, and simulating user actions against your control may cause errors.
