Cannot find element in WindowsForm

When the existing form Hide() and a new form Show(), cannot find the element in new form. When I trying to get the title from session after the new form shown, the result is still the title of old form. How can I find the element in new form?

Thx.

Try finding the new form first inside the old session, once you have the WinElement containing the new form you should be able to find things on the second form. Please let me know if it worked.

Thanks very much for sharing the code.

The code is based on Java, here is the code for your reference:

public class WindowsFormApplicationTest {

private static WindowsDriver ApplicationSession = null;
private static WindowsDriver rootSession = null;
private static WindowsDriver mainwindowSession = null;

@BeforeClass
public static void setup() {
    try {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "WinFormApplication.exe");
        capabilities.setCapability("appWorkingDir", "XXXXX\\Debug");
        ApplicationSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);
        ApplicationSession.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        DesiredCapabilities desktopCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        desktopCapabilities.setCapability("app", "Root");
        rootSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), desktopCapabilities);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    }
}

@Test
public void testApplicationStarted() throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Title: " + ApplicationSession.getTitle() + " with Handle: " + ApplicationSession.getWindowHandle());
    ApplicationSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("username").sendKeys("hello");
    ApplicationSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("password").sendKeys("hello");
    ApplicationSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("button1").click();

    try {
        Thread.sleep(3000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    }

    WebElement main = rootSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("Main");
    String handle = main.getAttribute("NativeWindowHandle");
    String hexHandle = Integer.toHexString(Integer.parseInt(handle));

    DesiredCapabilities mainWindowCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    mainWindowCapabilities.setCapability("appTopLevelWindow", hexHandle);

    mainwindowSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), mainWindowCapabilities);


    mainwindowSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("textBox14").sendKeys("421");
    mainwindowSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("Search").click();

    try {
        Thread.sleep(3000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    }
}

@Before
public void Clear() {
}

@AfterClass
public static void TearDown() {
    if (mainwindowSession != null) {
        mainwindowSession.quit();
    }
    mainwindowSession = null;

    if (ApplicationSession != null) {
        ApplicationSession.quit();
    }
    ApplicationSession = null;

    if (rootSession != null) {
        rootSession.quit();
    }
    rootSession = null;
}

}
