How to clear the text of the date

Post by Linna » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:07 pm

Hi,
I wonder how to clear the text of the date.I try to two method.It doesn't work.
one method:
Ranorex.Control conDate1="/form[@controlname='FrmMain']/element[@controltypename='MdiClient']/form[@controlname='FrmBasHR_PersonnelFile']/container/container[@controlname='splitHorizontal']/container[@controlname='panel1']/container[@controlname='pnlGrid']/container[@controlname='splitControl']/container[@controlname='panel1']/container[@controlname='pnlListTop']/element[@controlname='dte_RZDate' and @controltypename='DateEdit']";
conDate1.Element.SetAttributeValue("ControlText","");
This method is not clearing the text of date.
the other method:
Ranorex.Text txtDate1="/form[@controlname='FrmMain']/element[@controltypename='MdiClient']/form[@controlname='FrmBasHR_PersonnelFile']/container/container[@controlname='splitHorizontal']/container[@controlname='panel1']/container[@controlname='pnlGrid']/container[@controlname='splitControl']/container[@controlname='panel1']/container[@controlname='pnlListTop']/element[@controlname='dte_RZDate']/text[@controltypename='TextBoxMaskBox']";
txtDate1.DoubleClick();
txtDate1.PressKeys("Delete");
This method could clear selected date,but it will show current date.Who can help me?


Best regards

Hi,

How do you normally (without the use of Ranorex) clear the text of the date field?
May I ask you to post a screenshot of the specific element?

Thanks,
Markus
