subject:"[White] How to get the parent of a child element that i find on screen? (#46)"

[kaushik choudhury]

Here is a quick snippet anyways which may help (I have not hit this scenario, so there may be better ways in white)..

var automationElement = window.Get<Button>("SOmething").AutomationElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Parent, Condition.True);

This will get the automation element, it will not get the White control. I will try to look into it closer when I get some time

I was able to get the parent using the following
System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement parent = System.Windows.Automation.TreeWalker.RawViewWalker.GetParent(child.AutomationElement);
