Hi, apologies for getting back so late...

I don't need image verification, I need to be able to properly (reliably) pull off a drag\drop is the problem.  I need to be able to calculate the elements such that it'll work every time instead of having to re-wrestle with the thing every few months when something changes.  It's also really annoying for the test to have to go fullscreen.

Thoughts?

Hello Steve,

There is an article that explains all available methods related to DragTo() method available in Telerik Testing Framework. I hope that you could find there the one that will make your tests more stable.

There is .ScrollToVisible() method on an element that might obsolete the maximization of the window.

Please provide more specific case details in order be able to provide further assistance.

The problem isn't the dragdrop otself, the problem is it uses measurements.  I'm looking for some way to do those measurements in code so it doesn't matter where the window is or if the drag items change padding.

 

I can do all the math, just looking for the api i guess to try?

Hello Steve,

Thanks for getting back to us. 

Please find attached a test that logs to the execution log the coordinates and size of a html element. This is the "Try it" button on the page. Please note that you have to add reference to System.Drawings.dll in your project to be able to use the provided code. 

I hope this will be useful to you.
