Another sequel to the entry on "Getting Started with NUnitForms"
  http://www.pksoftware.net/blog/2007/02/06/Getting+Started+With+NUnitForms.aspx
This post is focused on compiling the latest NUnitForms code from sourceforge.

I have seen/heard/had a few questions about testing windows forms controls that are not currently supported by NUnitForms (specifically ".Net 2.0 NUnitForms alpha 5 release" - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=95656).

There are 2 answers...

1. Cut your own (see the "How to add Control Testers" section at http://nunitforms.sourceforge.net/docs.html), or
   
2. Get the latest source out of the subversion repository and use the generic tester class...
   

public class PictureBoxTester : ControlTester<PictureBox, PictureBoxTester>
{
  // Now implement each overloaded constructor calling the base class
  public PictureBoxTester() {}
  public PictureBoxTester(string name, Form form) : base(name, form) {}
  public PictureBoxTester(string name, string formName) : base(name, formName) {}
  public PictureBoxTester(string name) : base(name) {}
  public PictureBoxTester(ControlTester tester, int index) : base(tester, index) {}
}

[Test]
public void ExamplePropertyCheckAndDoubleClickTest()
{
  PictureBoxTester picTester = new PictureBoxTester("pictureBox1");
  Assert.AreEqual(@"C:\dir\somePic.bmp", picTester.Properties.ImageLocation);
  picTester.DoubleClick();
}
