Hi Markus,

It is good to hear that Ranorex is working on a solution.

As for the LowLevelHooksTimeout setting that you mentioned, like Phani, I also do not have the path to the specific folder in my Registry. More specifically, there is not a Control Panel folder listed under Windows in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.

In an earlier post in this topic you referred to a different path (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\LowLevelHooksTimeout) which is what I used although I saw no difference in the number of Mouse Down events recorded regardless of the value of the setting (7000, 10000, 20000, 30000).

If there is a better location to put the setting in the Registry, please let me know and I will be glad to give it a try.

Thanks,

Troy

This registry key can be set by a group policy. If it is not present, the value from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\LowLevelHooksTimeout is taken.

The setting may only take effect after you log out and log in again (or restart). Have you done that?

Hello Phani,

Did you try the workaround that Alex provided?

Hello Phani,

OK!
I would suggest to wait for Ranorex 5.0.

Bernhard

Hi,

It seems in Ranorex 4.1.5 version our bugs are fixed :) :) . So i don't need to wait till 5.0 Release.
I will take a backup of my current scripts and upgrade to 4.1.5 version. I will try to install and update you about this issue.

Thanks,
Phani

That's right, we put the relevant fixes for recording via (laggy) RDP connections into 4.1.5 as well.

Looking forward to your feedback on the bug fixes.

HI,

The below issue is not yet fixed. Even now also all my Mouse click events are shown as Mouse Down's

-> Fixed the recorder generating mouse Up/Down instead of Click actions (with asynchronous input
dispatching turned off)

Thanks,
Phani.

We made another improvement in 4.1.5 trying to fix mouse wobbling with the asynchronous dispatching turned on. Please make sure the "Use asynchronous dispatching of mouse and keyboard events" is checked in the Ranorex Settings -> Advanced tab page. Turning this setting off was just a workaround for very slow RDP connections that should now not be needed any more.
In general, this setting should be turned on, otherwise you need to worry about the LowLevelHooksTimeout being set to a high level in the registry.

Have you tried recording clicks on the Windows calculator?
The bug fix will not apply if you have asynchronous input dispatching turned off and the time to calculate the RanoreXPath for the clicked element is longer than the LowLevelHooksTimeout set in the registry.

Hi,

I agree with you. regarding " Turning this setting off was just a workaround for very slow RDP connections that should now not be needed any more."

I tried recording clicks on Windows calculator (Asynchronous mode disabled) all of them are showing correctly. Then why clicks on our application web page is showing as 'Mouse Down'. I had not changed the setting. For same setting > Calculator shows clicks correctly and Web page shows 'mouse down'.

Thanks,
Phani

As I outlined in my previous post, you will always get "Mouse Down" actions only if you have the Asynchronous Dispatching turned off and do not have the LowLevelHooksTimeout set to a sufficiently high value.
Have you set the LowLevelHooksTimeout in the registry? If yes, to what value?

Have you tried switching on the Asynchronous Dispatching?

Hi Alex,

Please see my post dated "Sat Nov 23, 2013 7:28 am ".
Yes i do have 'LowLevelHooksTimeout' Registry value and I had tried to set with 5000,10000,20000,30000 values. But no luck.

Anyways currently i am enabling Asynchronous mode and working on scripts. No issues

Thanks,
Phani

Right, I remember (the forum thread is just too long :? ), but did you log out or reboot after setting the value? Since it should definitely work if you have a high timeout value.
