Lesson #10: WPF Extensibility

TestArchitect supports every WPF control with an exception to very few specific controls, such as Telerik list box control. Therefore, there is a need to have a solution to this issue. The WPF Extensibility solution provides a public API which you can use to override TestArchitect’s built-in actions.
