Visual Studio Coded UI for Word Add-In v2 Sample Solution has shipped!

Willy-P. Schaub

We are pleased to announce that we have released the sample solution with support for Visual Studio 2012 RC.

Overview

This project delivers practical and scenario based sample code and guidance for the Visual Studio Coded UI Microsoft Word Add-in, which extends the Coded UI feature support to Microsoft Word documents.

Without this Add-in, the Coded UI feature has the following shortcomings:

• Can only reference Word menu and ribbon controls
• Can only reference the screen location of mouse and keyboard actions within a document
• Does not support assertions within a document

The add-in also provides the following functionalities for Coded UI:

• Document location referencing of mouse and keyboard actions
• Assertions on contiguous document selection

To get started, grab the Hand-On Lab, which steps you through building the solution and using it.
