Using WebDriver with an embedded IE browser (a DevExpress-WinForms element)

[Jonathan Markman]

The company I currently work for has a product that has a DevExpress-powered WinForms application that contains an embedded IE browser. Is there any realistic way that Selenium can perform some automated tests on the webpage shown on that DevExpress control? Normally we'd access it via an actual browser, but that path is not available in this case.

AFAIK, there’s no way of interacting with an embedded browser, because the server component (IEDriverServer.exe in this case) would need to spawn the browser that it would control, which is not possible in the case of an embedded browser application.

 

Thanks & Regards
