I need to click on AutomationId="picBoxSim" from AutomationId="Txo"(Txo is one of the avaliable itens, there is a lot more. The same XML only changing the AutomationId="Txo" to AutomationId="something"; I've tried a few codes but nothing seems to work.

Like this one:

Driver.Session.FindElementByXPath("//Pane[@AutomationId='Txo']").FindElementByXPath("//Pane[@AutomationId='picBoxSim']").Click();

Can you update your ticket with correct source code sample position - it's almost invisible... — Andersson, Jan 31 '18 at 14:56
Donne. Is it better now? (sorry, first time posting something here) — Yuri Costa de Oliveira, Jan 31 '18 at 15:08
try `Driver.Session.FindElementByXPath("//Pane[@AutomationId='Tixotrópica']").FindElementByXPath(".//Pane[@AutomationId='pixBoxSim']").Click();`. Note that your second XPath should starts with `.` as `.//Pane...` — Andersson, Jan 31 '18 at 15:13
Thanks! It worked! But may you explain me this sintax? Why it doesn't work without the ".". Another doubt, is it normal that the test be really slow with xpath? This code takes 14 sec to click on the "Yes" button — Yuri Costa de Oliveira, Feb 01 '18 at 12:03
`.` Points on context - in your case `.//Pane` is a descendant of already found `//Pane` while `//Pane` - is just first `Pane` in DOM. You can try to use single XPath `//Pane[@AutomationId='Tixotrópica']//Pane[@AutomationId='picBoxSim']` for little acceleration — Andersson, Feb 01 '18 at 12:08
Got it! Thanks for explaining this to me. I've used the single XPath but it still taking too long to click. Is it a normal issue using XPath? — Yuri Costa de Oliveira, Feb 01 '18 at 12:24
It depends on the size of document which should be parsed or on tool that you uses — Andersson, Feb 01 '18 at 12:38
