Click the button when it is highlighted

Post by ejji09 » Tue Dec 08, 2015 4:51 pm

Hi,

Am using code module to test my java application. At a certain point in my application i have click a button when the button got highlighted. but ranorex clicks the button before it got highlighted and it was not able to click the button when it got highlighted after 3-4 seconds. And i can solve this issue by adding delay of 3-4 seconds, But i want to know how to click only when the button is highlighted with out adding the delay time.

You could use Image based validation to distinguish the two images.

You can also use Wait For - Exists - Highlighted Button.

Then do your click.

Hi,

Another thing that might be worth a try is to check the 'Enabled' state of non-highlighted button. Is the button enabled if the button is in non-highlighted mode? If not, then you can add and @enabled='true' to the repo item xpath or wait for enabled==true in your code?
