I tried finding the element using Get but it does not work, thats why i treid with GetElement method

I am trying to enter text in an textbox element found using GetElement in teststack white using C#

i want to know how to cast the automation element to UIitem so that i can do enter() or click operation on that element

var all = appWindow.GetElement(SearchCriteria.ByControlType(ControlType.ComboBox)
    .AndByText("Model collapsed"));
var element = all.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, 
    new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Edit Box collapsed"));

Answer 1

After using the below code i was able to enter text.

var all = appWindow.GetElement(SearchCriteria.ByControlType(ControlType.ComboBox)
.AndByText(parentValue));
 var element = all.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, childValue));
                TextBox textBox = new TextBox(all, appWindow.ActionListener);

 TestStack.White.InputDevices.AttachedKeyboard keyboard = appWindow.Keyboard;
                textBox .Click();
                keyboard.Enter("test");
