Opening Metro Apps
Opening Metro Apps
I'm trying to evaluate this tool for use in testing our Windows 8 modern (metro) app. I'm having trouble opening the app itself by either recording the process or coding it directly. How can I create a code module to open the windows start menu by clicking on the start button, and then select the correct tile to launch the application?

Re: Opening Metro Apps
Thanks. Do you happen to have any more recent information regarding automating metro apps? Our Application is a winJS metro app with embedded webviews and unfortunately it looks like I cannot see any UI objects on the webview when I inspect them using the Object Spy. Basically, the lowest level on the DOM that is shown is the webview container itself and nothing that is displayed within it.
Re: Opening Metro Apps
The JavaScript uses a browser rendering engine to render the web view.
Do you know what engine your app is using?
I would guess that it is JXBrowser, which is not supported by Ranorex, so Ranorex cannot "see" anything inside the webview container.
