Descriptive Programming in CODEDUI Visual Studio Ultimate 2010
Code to press button "3" from the Calculator UI of Windows XP.
1. Open Visual Studio 2010 > Select New project > Select "Test Project" from Visual C# ,Test
You should be able to see a Blank workspace created ,
2. On your right side in properties you will have Unittest1 Created .Select that file from the tree right click and delete.
3. Click on New Template >Select Coded UI>Ok
4.Delete any pre-exsisting code from the workspace and Copy the below and paste in the workspace.

The above code "press button 3" on the Windows XP Calculator using technique similar to descriptive programming in QTP.
1) The button 3 is actually inside 2 Windows .
- "UICalculatorWindow" is the parent window
- "UIItem3Window" is the child window
- UIItem3Button is button "3" is present inside the child Window .
2) A seperate class has been created for parent window object and child window object whose properties has been initialised .
3)For the button object the properties has been initialsed directly in the Main function which is ( public void CodedUITestMethod1() )
Remeber (Main Function in coded UI is "public void CodedUITestMethod1() " meaning the execution starts from there and also all the operation is written here).
4)The Logic in CUI as far as my understanding goes is something like this :
Ex : Lets say "W" is a Window and "B" is a button inside the Window "W" which we need to Click.
Therefore B is a child of W.
5) We need to create 2 Classes :-
(1) is the Main Class (i.e., public void CodedUITestMethod1() ) and (2) is the Object Definition for the parent Class in our case "W" .
(1) which is the Main Class contains
- Declaration of Parent Window Object "W".
- Constructor for the class
- Initialzation of property for the button "B" and to click the button.
- Assigning Property value to the Parent Window Object "W".
(2) is the Parent Window Object Class contains .
- Declaration of Parent Window Object "B".
- Constructor for the class
- Initialzation of "W" properties.
- Assigning Property value to the Button Object "B".
Remember :Each Parent Class will have its child object declared inside it and Property call for the child!!
