Ranorex Forum

Hi Team

In my application data is arranged as a form in rows and columns .However these are not structured in table.
How can we identify a specific element using index property ?

Could you please help me on this?

Hi,

Unfortunately, without, at very least, a Ranorex snapshot, it’s pretty hard to suggest something reliable. Could you please create and upload one? Thanks.

Please refer the snapshot

We tried to get the index value by using GetattributeText("index" ) method.However its returning the value as null

Please advice

At first, what you have posted is not a snapshot but screenshot. Please learn how to create the snapshot here:

As for getting the value of an element attribute, use method GetAttributeValueText.

Sorry for posting screenshot instead of Snapshot.
And as suggested, we have tried with GetAttributeValueText("index" ) method also, but still it is returning value as 'null'.

As mentioned, please post a Ranorex snapshot of the problematic element. Without snapshot, there is not much anyone here can do or suggest.

On the other hand, I don’t think that using index number is the best way to identify elements. In fact, it’s least realiable one So in my opinion, you will have to find other way to identify the element in question (e.g. using parent/children relationship).

Thanks much for the comment.

And we identified that we can get the index value of object using property "childindex".It returned value '57' for the below screenshot.
And yes, it is not that much reliable to use index property, but the AUT does not have proper hierarchy.
