Thanks to good friend Chris :) who pointed me in right direction i made workaround that looks like this:

UltraUiaComboBox uuComboBox = ( UltraUiaComboBox )control;

if ( uuComboBox.SelectedItem == providedValue)
break;

AutomationElement containerAutomationElement = uuComboBox.NativeElement as AutomationElement;
AutomationElementCollection elements = containerAutomationElement.FindAll( TreeScope.Children, Condition.TrueCondition );
uuComboBox.SetFocus();
Keyboard.SendKeys( "{HOME}" );

for ( int i = 0; i < elements.Count; i++ )
{
try
{
string name = elements[ i ].Current.Name;
if ( String.IsNullOrEmpty( name ) || name != providedValue)
Keyboard.SendKeys( "{DOWN}" );
else
break;
}
catch { }
}

I know that this is not best solution but it is only one that works for me now. If someone finds other solution please reply on this thread.

Hi All

It didn't work, but thanks, you did help me and now at least i have workaround that is working like a charm :)

Thanks a lot

Almir

Its very strange that the options we provided do not work for you. There must be something within the design of your application that we're not aware of. At least you have a workaround that meets your needs. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Chris.

Hi Chris

I am back with questions :)

Could you please help me with this?

I have UltraUiaCombobox with few items. I want to do assert on SelectedItem and when I try that it fails because for SelectedItem it actually selects Value property instead of Text.

And I am asserting by Text value (value that is visible to user).

Hey Almir,

Try the following code:

public void AssertMethod1()
{
#region Variable Declarations
UltraUiaComboBox uIUltraComboEditor1ComboBox = this.UIForm1Window.UIUltraComboEditor1Window.UIUltraComboEditor1ComboBox;
#endregion

AutomationElement comboElement = uIUltraComboEditor1ComboBox.NativeElement as AutomationElement;
if (comboElement == null)
Assert.Fail("Could not locate the AutomationElement");

ItemContainerPattern containerPattern = comboElement.GetCurrentPattern(ItemContainerPattern.Pattern) as ItemContainerPattern;
if (containerPattern == null)
Assert.Fail("Could not locate the ItemContainerPattern on the AutomationElement");

AutomationElement selectedElement = containerPattern.FindItemByProperty(null, SelectionItemPatternIdentifiers.IsSelectedProperty, true);
if (selectedElement == null)
Assert.Fail("No Selected AutomationElement");

// change this line line to match your selected text

Assert.AreEqual("DisplayTextOfSelection", selectedElement.Current.Name);
}

At this point, I'd be nervous about us changing the SelectedItem to be the display text of selected item, as it would most likely break existing tests that are expecting it to return the underlying value.
