using coded ui on infragistics winform controls

I've recently decided to take a look at automated UI testing using vs2010's coded UI. However, I've come across some problems, namely a FailedToPerformActionOnBlockedControlException when playing back selecting a value from a combo box.

A quick search for this exception and infragistics and coded ui seems to say that there is no formal support for infragistics winform controls using coded ui however several websites has mentioned using coded ui extensions.

Has anyone had experience with successfully making coded ui recognise infragistics controls? such as the combo box, ultragrid etc...?

dude you know what screw infragistics it has a lot of problems with it's tabs, textboxes..use AJAX – Bastardo
@BurnAfterReading, this is a windows application so AJAX is not an option. Besides, i've used these infragistics controls throughout the whole app for better UI interaction, hardly an option for me to change the product for testing purposes – Joe

My company uses our own controls that inherit from Infragistics controls. See this related question for tips which may help.

If you want a robust solution for automated testing of Infragistics WinForms controls, and are willing to use a different tool, have a look at Infragistics TestAdvantage, a plugin for HP QTP / IBM RFT.

Support for the CodedUITest framework is being looked at by Infragistics and a beta may be available late in Q1 of 2012. There are more details in the following post: http://blogs.infragistics.com/forums/p/10294/323529.aspx#323529

You can use RANOREX. It worked for most controls, for example the Ultragrid
