Remarks

If you need to extend the coded UI testing framework to support a currently unsupported technology, you would need to derive your own version of this class. For example, Microsoft Excel is not natively supported by the coded UI testing framework, but by using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or Visual Studio 2010 Premium, you can create an extension that enables you to test Microsoft Excel Worksheets. For more information, see Extending Coded UI Tests and Action Recordings to Support Microsoft Excel.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
