Can we convert the class of an object to access the associated functions of the updated class

Hi Team,

My AUT declared an object as RadioButton (also confirmed from inspector.exe), however Silk Spy gets it as PushButton (unsure of the cause). 

The requirement is to verify the state of the object (selected or unselected), however as the object being considered as PushButton by Silk could not confirm the same.

I am trying to convert the class from PushButton to RadioList/Button so that I can use GetSelectedItem() function that comes with RadioList.

Played with Manage Custom Controls, all I understood was that we can incorporate few functions to a custom class so that they can be used on an object but could not get a way to have getSelectedItem() for an object of type Pushbutton, or I might be missing a way to achieve it. Please help me thank you in advance.

    Hi  

    If the object is being recognized as a PushButton this is because the control must be derived from that class.

    You state it is recognized as a RadioButton using inspect.exe, which uses either MSAA or UIA as the recognition method. You could try enabling UI Automation in Silk Test and check if the gives you the recognition that you want.
