Customize default target element for clicks against controls
Many common Telerik controls (TextBoxes, RadWindows, etc) have child Grid controls. 

Node 1: Grid control
Node 2: TextBox control
Node 3: TabControl
(Etc.)

We often target the wrong control using this workflow, and constantly have to go back and manually update all steps that the recorder created against Grid controls and update them to the true control we are targeting (TextBoxes, RadWindows, etc). Test Studio is designed to pick the control of the stack group that is lowest in the stack.  For example in a grandparent->parent->child stack of controls(i.e. TabControl->TextBox->Grid), when that region on the screen is clicked, Test Studio will automatically pick the child or in this case the Grid control.

Implement a configuration option that an end user can select to avoid this type of situation.  For example, allow the end-user to specify which element under the control is the default target for a recorded click. Perhaps the user could select a general rule that specifies that if there is a mult-level control, and the default target for a click is a Grid, Skip the Grid and select the next element down.

Hi,

I understand the request but I don't understand why one would need that. If there is some specific verification for example that doesn't work for some application but is exposed for recording we should probably investigate the bug rather than implementing some work-around via specific feature request. Please do not hesitate to contact the support team for issues you experience.

Thanks!
