Ranorex Forum

Hi,

we want to select a tabpage which might be not shown initially:
How can Ranorex select a tabpage which can be visible or not?

As shown in the attached image and snapshot the tabpage "Mengenstaffel" (at Index 9) is not visible so a simple mouse-click won't select this tabpage. Humans simply click ``UpDown`` to make this tabpage visible, how could Ranorex act? Regards,

If not visible then click the UpDown until visible? I've no idea what EnsureVisible does on a tabpage as we have very few of those so I've not had to solve that problem before.

I've had to write a few things like that e.g. widen a column until the full rawtext that I'm looking for appears, or scroll a list until a certain item becomes visible. Sometimes I use the page jumping on scroll bars to get near, then revert to the up/down arrows to fine tune things.

This is actually our problem: How can we check, if we have to click UpDown or not?
As you can see in the attached image the feature Visible is True despite the tabpage is not visible.

Something like

While (!tabpage.Visible)
  UpDown.Click()

tabpage.Click()

won't work.

Click until the coordinates fall within bounds of the dialog maybe?

No idea, haven't had to solve this problem before.

Hi,
what if just simply use TabPage.Select() method?
The control should support this operation and it will select the proper tab page (regardless of visibility).
