Button not getting detected in Flex

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I am newbie to Flex and trying to write small automation for my flex 
application.

My Flex application code snippet is

    <mx:Panel id="Panel1" 
        horizontalScrollPolicy="off" 
        verticalScrollPolicy="off">

        <mx:Form id="Form1">
            <mx:FormItem label="Username:">
                <mx:TextInput id="Username"/>
            </mx:FormItem>
            <mx:FormItem label="Password:">
                <mx:TextInput id="Password" displayAsPassword="true"/>
            </mx:FormItem>

        </mx:Form>

        <mx:ControlBar id="ControlBar1">
> 
            <mx:Button label="Login" id="Button1" labelPlacement="left" 
click="login()"/>
        </mx:ControlBar>
    </mx:Panel>

Now the problem is I can detect Username and Password in my C# automation 
but cannot detect Login Button. Also when I move button from ControlBar to 
Form, I can detect button.
So can anyone help me with why its not detecting button in ControlBar.

I am using doFlexClick (Control ) to access them. Is there any way by 
which I can detect ControlBar and then button ?

Thanks.

I am experiencing this bug too :-(

I guess it is because stuff in a ControlBar gets put into the rawChildren. I 
*do* see
some rawChildren code handling in AppTreeParser, but nevertheless, a component 
in a
ControlBar is not found.

Looking at the component hierarchy in FlexSpy locates the component under 
"Chrome".

Here is a screen shot of how flexspy shows the component hierarchy. It finds the
button down under a "Chrome" node in the tree.

You can fix that very easily. Just go to the line 278 in
src/sfapi/core/AppTreeParser.as, take out ! or !isChild(child, parent). 
The code looks like the following:
if(isNotContentPane(child) && isChild(child, parent))
or 
if(isNotContentPane(child)).

Thanks to "yugan..." for the tip. It works. Do you now if the project owners are
active on this project anymore. Seems like a checkin and run operation :-) as in
nothing happing.

Would be nice with a fix for this and a release, instead of having to pull down
source and make your own version.
