WinForm Infragistic Controls Steering issue

[acn-nithya]

Hi,
I'm working on a .Net application which is build on WinForms and Infragistic UI Controls. I couldnt find any suitable keywords to automate the different controls in Infragistics. Could you please help me with what keyword to use to select the Navigation Workspace item. I tried with list and menu and both are unsuccessful. Or I'd like to know if there any any other ways to handle the Infragistic controls for WinForms and WPF?

Please provide more details on the item you are trying to automate, e.g. what does Inspect show as the control's type?

Any updates here please?

Looks like the control is a GroupBox which is a container for items. Inspect does not seem to see any child items inside that group, so I don't know if they would be visible to White. With White it is possible to search items inside a GroupBox (or Panel) but WhiteLibrary currently only supports searching inside a window.

I have a question regarding the Infragistic UI controls as I see that RF (Robot Framework) is not able to read these dlls. Basically I have the Infragistic DLLs built on C# used for my application which is again DotNet based. Is there any way that I can make these dlls available for RF so that it can work fine with Infragistic controls? If so could you please help me how?
