Localization: container NOt editable

Post by pramoodd » Tue Apr 02, 2013 11:50 am

@admin
While using the ranorex tool for localizing a Windows app,
the container of a item changes from languages to language.
for example, consider a text box .
the RX path in English is :
/form[@title~'^Select\ Facility\ Connectio']/container[@caption~'^1\.\ Enter\ login\ informatio']/text[@class='Edit' and @instance='0']

but the Rx path in German is :

/form[@title~'^Anlagen-Verbindung\ auswah']/container[@caption~'^1\.\ Login-Informationen\ ei']/text[@class='Edit' and @instance='0']

so the path match fails giving a error.(While executing the testcase).

any solution to solve this localization issue.

Regards,
Praneeth Arnepalli

Hello,

You could use variables for your localization in the RxPath of your elements.
These variables could be bound to a data source where each row represents a language.

Example for RxPath:

Code: Select all

/form[@title=$varTitle]/container[@caption=$varCaption]/text[@class='Edit' and @instance='0']
Please take a look at our User Guide for more info.

Regards,
Markus (T)

Hi Admin,

the main elements are not editable.
how can we modify them.

Please find the screenshot below |(Issue2.jpg).
the form title is different for different languages and this is not editable.
so how is it possible to loclaization?


and one more Question.

I got a list and I wanna make a search of an item(Variable) in the list. (Test.jpg)

I tried tracing the value:

/form[@title~'^PowerFleet™\ Vision™\ v5\.4\ ']/container/form/element[@class='AfxWnd40' and @instance='2']/element[@controlid='3']


then , added the list search:

/list/listitem[@accessiblename=$GroupName]

then also The automation fails.

Help me with a early sollution.

Hi,

In order to analyze this in detail could you please send ([email protected]) or post two Ranorex snapshot files (for each language)?
This would help us to analyze this issue is detail.

Thanks,
Markus
