title: Codedui fail to click on Hidden control and Bounding Rectangle issues
body: <p>I have Web based application , where I am trying Click on a Hyperlink , In my automation development machine , it works fine , but If I run the same on some other machine (VM's), say testing machine using Test agent and Test Controller through MTM . I am getting the following error message </p>
  
  <p>Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.FailedToPerformActionOnHiddenControlException: Cannot perform 'Click' on the hidden control. Additional Details: 
  TechnologyName:  'Web'.</p>
  
  <p>I followed few msdn blogs and uninstalled the security update on my windows and currently I am using the IE11 on my dev box and testing box and VS 2010 premium on my dev box</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://i1.blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/09/17/coded-ui-mtm-issues-on-internet-explorer-with-kb2870699.aspx?PageIndex=4" rel="nofollow">http://i1.blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/09/17/coded-ui-mtm-issues-on-internet-explorer-with-kb2870699.aspx?PageIndex=4</a>
  but this did not work for me .</p>
  
  <p>I also tried using the BoundingRectangle property this way below</p>
  
  <pre><code>UITestControlCollection uic = link.FindMatchingControls();
  
     foreach (UITestControl ui in uic)
  {
       if (ui.BoundingRectangle.Width &gt; 0)
        {
               Mouse.Click(ui);
               break;
        }
  
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestControlNotAvailableException: The following element is no longer available: IE web control; Process Id [5136], window handle [1705946] Additional Details: </p>
  
  <p>I request for help on this . As I am struggling to find the real reason  why this is happening. The Hyperlink is visible on screen but , i do not understand why it is hidden for Playback , Also i cannot debug this as it is on VM and I am using Teat Agent to run this from MTM.</p>
  
  <p>Request for the Help</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
