Not able indentify control on Windows 10

Post by ujjainkarh » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:04 am

Hi All,

For our desktop application, we are not able to identify button control on windows 10 machine but same control is identified on windows 7 machine by Ranorex Spy.

Ranorex version - 5.3.1
Xpath of control - /form[1]/button[@text='&Yes']

Is there any way to use same control on both OS ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Could you please post a Ranorex snapshot of the control, both from win 7 and 10? Without snapshot, it's almost impossible to tell what's wrong or how to create a universal path for win7 and 10. My guess is that the problem is caused by the form index [1]. You should always try to replace hardcoded indexes with something else.

  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version

In addition to what Pavel said, you should update Ranorex to a supported version (currently 5.4.4) since 5.3.1 is no longer supported and there have been many changes in support of Windows 10 in 5.4.X versions of Ranorex.
