I have the following code:

public void Method1()
{
    try
    {
        this.UIMap.abc(TestContext.DataRow["xxx"].ToString());
        this.UIMap.xyz(TestContext.DataRow["zzz"].ToString());
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Image pic = this.UIMap.UItestingWindow.CaptureImage();
        pic.Save(@"C:\result.bmp");
        TestContext.AddResultFile(@"C:\result.bmp");
    }

How can I take an image of an Exception with "No messageBox"? If an error occurs, Method2() should be called.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I'm helping, but here's how you can throw an exception and take an image of the the dialog box.

[TestMethod]
    public void CodedUITestMethod1()
    {
        WinWindow window = new WinWindow();
        window.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.Name] = "Error Window";
        WinButton okButton = new WinButton(window);
        okButton.SearchProperties[WinButton.PropertyNames.Name] = "OK";

        try
        {
            throw new Exception("Coded UI is throwing an exception.  No idea about the Internet explorer state.");
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            Task.Run(() =>
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error Window");
                }).Start();
            throw new Exception("An unexpected exception occurred in Coded UI",ex);
        }
        finally
        {
            Image pic = window.CaptureImage();
            pic.Save(@"C:\result.bmp");
            Mouse.Click(okButton);
        }


    }

The whole desktop including the wanted message box can be obtained with:

Image pic = UITestControl.Desktop.CaptureImage();
