Get WPF DataContext via Ranorex API

Post by moerwald » Tue Dec 21, 2021 1:37 pm

Hi,

unfortunately I've a complex WPF GUI to test. Actually some data I want to validate is only avaiable as bound DataContext in WPF. Is it possible to retrieve the WPF DataContext of a WPF control via the Ranorex API?

Thx

Hi moerwald!

Welcome to the forums! This may be possible depending on how the application is configured. One thing that may help would be to go into the Plugin Settings (Settings -> Plugins Tab -> WPF) and set the "Show All Elements" option to "True." Barring that, it may still be possible to pull that information using the GDI+ Capture functionality.
