I didn't read your original request closely enough to realize what was
going on. Rhino Mocks tracks "expectations" by intercepting calls
made on the mocked object. To do this interception, the mocked object
must be either an interface, or a class with virtual methods. It
looks like the "Add" method on the Rad component may not be virtual
and therefore, can't be tracked by Rhino Mocks.
If the methods on the Rad objects are not virtual, you can't use Rhino
Mocks to set up expectations. You could create an interface for a
that defines methods for pre and post adding of items. Then make a
class that implements that interface and is used by your additems
extension method. You can then set expectations on the interface.
Something like this (WARNING: really quick code follows):
interface IRadItemManager
{
void PreAdd();
void PostAdd();
}
Then make an object that implements this interface and works with the
RadComboBox:
public class RadItemManager : IRadItemManager
{
private RadComboBoxItem comboBox;
public RadItemManager(RadComboBoxItem comboBox)
{
this.comboBox = comboBox;
}
public PreAdd()
{
comobox.SuspendLayout();
}
public PostAdd()
{
combobox.ResumeLayout();
}
}
Your extension method should now accept an IRadItemManager. Something like:
public static void AddItems(this RadComboBox comboBox,
Dictionary<string, string> items, IRadItemManager manager)
Get rid of your "combobox.suspend/resume" calls and replace them with
calls to manager.PreAdd/PostAdd. Then you can set expectations that
the manager.PreAdd is called before manager.PostAdd. You could make
implementation seamless by adding another overloaded extension method
with your current signature that will call the new one and
automatically create the RadItemManager:
public static void AddItems(this RadComboBox comboBox,
Dictionary<string, string> items)
{
return AddItems(comboBox, items, new RadItemManager(comboBox);
}
Hope this helps.
