WatiN LogonDialogHandlers not working correctly in

Question

I have recently updated to Windows 7, VS2010 and IE8. We have an automation suite running tests against IE using WatiN. These tests require the logon dialog handler to be used in order to log different AD Users into the IE Browser.

This works perfectly when using Windows XP and IE8, but now using Windows 7 has resulted in the Windows Security dialog box no longer being recognised, the dialogue box is just being ignored. This is the method being used to startup the browser:

        public static Browser StartBrowser(string url, string username, string password)
        {
            Browser browser = new IE();
            WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.LogonDialogHandler ldh = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.LogonDialogHandler(username, password);
            browser.DialogWatcher.Add(ldh);
            browser.GoTo(url);
            return browser;
        }

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated...

For whatever reason the code Clint posted had comments instead of entering the username, password and submitting, and referenced an undefined method, but is otherwise OK. Here's some completed (and working) code:

    public static Browser Win7Login(string username, string password, string URL) {
        Process ieProcess = Process.Start("iexplore.exe", URL);
        ieProcess.WaitForInputIdle();

        Thread.Sleep(2000);

        AutomationElement ieWindow = AutomationElement.FromHandle(ieProcess.MainWindowHandle);
        string t = ieWindow.Current.ClassName.ToString();

        Condition conditions = new AndCondition(new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty, true),
                                   new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Window));
        Condition List_condition = new AndCondition(new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty, true),
                                        new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.ListItem));
        Condition Edit_condition = new AndCondition(new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty, true),
                                    new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Edit));
        Condition button_conditions = new AndCondition(new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.IsEnabledProperty, true),
                                     new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ControlTypeProperty, ControlType.Button));

        AutomationElementCollection c = ieWindow.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, conditions);
        foreach (AutomationElement child in c) {
            if (child.Current.ClassName.ToString() == "#32770") {
                // find the list
                AutomationElementCollection lists = child.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, List_condition);
                // find the buttons
                AutomationElementCollection buttons = child.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, button_conditions);

                foreach (AutomationElement list in lists) {
                    if (list.Current.ClassName.ToString() == "UserTile") {
                        AutomationElementCollection edits = list.FindAll(TreeScope.Children, Edit_condition);
                        foreach (AutomationElement edit in edits) {
                            if (edit.Current.Name.Contains("User name")) {
                                edit.SetFocus();
                                ValuePattern usernamePattern = edit.GetCurrentPattern(ValuePattern.Pattern) as ValuePattern;
                                usernamePattern.SetValue(username);
                            }
                            if (edit.Current.Name.Contains("Password")) {
                                edit.SetFocus();
                                ValuePattern passwordPattern = edit.GetCurrentPattern(ValuePattern.Pattern) as ValuePattern;
                                passwordPattern.SetValue(password);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                foreach (AutomationElement button in buttons) {
                    if (button.Current.AutomationId == "SubmitButton") {
                        InvokePattern submitPattern = button.GetCurrentPattern(InvokePattern.Pattern) as InvokePattern;
                        submitPattern.Invoke();
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return IE.AttachTo<IE>(Find.By("hwnd", ieWindow.Current.NativeWindowHandle.ToString()), 30);
    }
