Programmatically search a codedui uimap

I have an object in a codedui uimap ... let's say it's

UIMap.Browser.Document.Table.Row.Cell

E.g., your code looks like this :

UITestControl testcontrol = this.UIMap.Browser.Document.Table.Row.Cell;

I need to find the object "Cell" as a fully qualified name, given a string "Browser.Document.Table.Row.Cell".

The result must be a UITestControl, so it can then be manipulated by the test.

The idea is, using the string containing the path, find the actual object in the uimap.

I can generate the string containing the "path" to the object, just can't figure out how to then search for it within the uimap, and link that back to a UITestControl.

(This is all from a C# standpoint)

e.g.,

String objectString = "Browser.Document.Table.Row.Cell";

UITestControl newcontrol = nameoffunctionweneed(objectString);

in this case, nameoffunctionweneed accepts a String, and outputs a UITestControl object.

It's better to work with the element directly given that paths can change very often. So, you'd work best with the simple CodedUI approach to searching for elements.

Given: 

<html>
<body>
 <table>
   <tr>
       <td id="x1_y1"><span>hello World!</span></td>
   </tr>
 </table>
</body>
</html>

Find the table cell by:

var cellEle = new HtmlTableCell(browser);
cellEle.SearhProperties[HtmlTableCell.PropertyNames.Id] = "x1_y1";
// OR
cellEle.SearhProperties[HtmlTableCell.PropertyNames.InnerText] = "hello World!";

This might solve your problem:

UITestControl nameoffunctionweneed(string path)
{
    object res = UIMap;
    foreach (var item in path.Split('.'))
    {
        res = res.GetType().GetProperty(item).GetValue(res, null);
    }
    return res as UITestControl;
}
