Getting full contents of a Datagrid using UIAutomation

Question

I have need to retrieve all of the items in a Datagrid from an external application using UIAutomation. Currently, I can only retrieve (and view in UISpy) the visible items.

Answer 1

You can only retrieve the visible cells because you have table virtualization on.

Try disabling the virtualization (not always possible in all application but perhaps you want to move it into configuration and change it before testing)
