How to select a TreeView node in WinAppDriver

Question

So I am trying to select a node on a TreeView using WinAppDriver, any thoughts on how to find a element that will have a value I can access the element with?

Answer 1

TreeView has TreeViewItems. The basic approach would be:

1. Get driver.PageSource property, save it to file and see generated xaml/xml file.
2. Use driver.FindElementByXpath() to search through xml (for name Jesper Aaberg from TreeView example xpath would be something like this: //TreeView/TreeViewItem/TreeViewItem)
