title: How do I get ItemStatus from a UITestControl?
body: <p>The <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms747327.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UI Automation framework</a> has a base class, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.automationelement.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AutomationElement</a>, that has a property, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.automationproperties.itemstatus%28VS.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ItemStatus</a>, that can be used to store arbitrary strings. I'm trying to get that property from the Visual Studio 2010 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286726%28VS.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Coded UI Tests</a> base class, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.uitesting.uitestcontrol%28VS.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UITestControl</a>.</p>
