Ranorex Forum

Greetings Everyone,

I am currently working on evaluating Ranorex and so far it seems really easy to use and I like it a lot.

I have what I hope is a fairly simple question.

When recording a script, the first thing I want to do after launching my application is to open a file. I do not want to record mouse scrolling in the dialog as that could change depending on how many files are in the directory. I would like to just specific a directory and file and have it open. I don't as of yet see how to do that, although I'm sure you can. I would greatly appreciate a nod in the right direction. I have looked through the help and don't see anything as of yet.

Hello,

Is it a standard file dialog which your application is using in order to select a file?
If yes, you can insert the whole path into the text field of the "File Name" using the "SetValue" action. Please let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Bernhard

Thanks so much Bernhard.

That is exactly what I needed to know.

Loving this tool so far.
