Is it possible to make an if-clause, wether a repository was found or not?
Because I have a repository item in my repository, that can not be found by ranorex, although it has the full path to the item.

If you mean an element from a repository:

if (repository.SomeFolder.elementInfo.exists()) {
Report.Debug("Found element");
}

Whare repository is your repository object, folder and element are in a repository. Each element should have an Info object automaticaly created.

The problem is that I have a repository item that can not be clicked by ranorex and i dont know why.
I tried recording the button, then taking the absolute path, I tried tracking the button with the spy with the absolute path, I tried shortening the path but nothing works. I will send you a Ranorex snapshot, maybee you can help me.

Okay this is odd.
I have made a recording which presses the save button. When I play the recording it finds the button but when I play the complete test, the recording doesn`t find the button...

What's the RanoreXPath of the item you are searching for?
Could you post the complete error message you get when the item is not found?
Do you get any warnings in the report?

From your snapshot it looks like the "ID" attributes of your web elements are dynamic, i.e. they might not be the same every time you start the browser/scenario. Try not to use dynamic attributes or try to use regular expressions to only check for static parts of the ID.

See following sections in the Ranorex User Guide and the RanoreXPath screencasts for more information:

The ID of the used Webelements is not dynamic, I have tested that one first. I have edited the path about 100 times until i found a path that would work. The path is : I still don't know why the others did not work but problem solved

with kind regards
