Ranorex Forum

Hi,
I am using Ranorex 3.0. Whenever i try to get an element using the following code, the element is always null. But when i took the same rxpath and put it in spy, it is identifying that control. What can be the problem?
//My Code
Element elem=null;
string path=@"/form[@controlname='MainForm']/element[@controlname='xtraTabControl1']/container[@controlname='xtraTabTrades']/container/container/container[@controlname='panel1']/container/element/table[@accessiblename='Error message']";
Host.Local.TryFindSingle(path,30000,out elem);

//I tried giving the same path in ranorex spy( both x 86 and x 64) Both can identify that. Only the Host.Local.TryFindSingle is not working.
Any help on this?

Hi,

Please take a look to following link and read the found element parameter
http://www.ranorex.com/Documentation/Ra ... ngle_1.htm

Are you developing in Ranorex Studio or in Visual Studio? If you use Visual studio, please check if you main methods has the property [STAThread]

Hi,
Thanks for the immediate reply . I am using ranorex in visual studio. The main method has [STAThread] property. In the same application Host.Local.TryFindSingle method it is able to identify some other buttons. But not this table and any items within table, even though spy can identify that.

Hello,

could you write some lines of code that use the TryFindSingle() with parts of your path to find out where it is stuck. If you cannot find the solution in this way, please send us the RanoreXPath and a snapshot of your application to [email protected] with some explanation or a link to this forum post.

Hi,
I only have 3 lines in the code.
string path=@"/form[@controlname='MainForm']/element[@controlname='xtraTabControl1']/container[@controlname='xtraTabTrades']/container/container";
Element ele=null;
Host.Local.TryFindSingle(path,30000,out ele);

When using the visual studio, i can get the element till the last but one container(i.e the container in bold) in the rxpath mentioned above.When i add the next container(underlined) in the rxpath i cant get the element. But i use the same code in ranorex studio, it can identify the entire rxpath(both the containers) and gives me the element.
Kindly help.

Hi,

can you please provide us a snapshot of your application under test.
Basically there differences within object recognition in Ranorex 3.x to the object recognition within Ranorex 2.3.x.
Following link will show you how to generate a snapshot file:

Hi,
An update on the problem above. I made the rxpath working by changing the problematic container into elements. This is working in visual studio. But not in Ranorex Spy.

path=@"/form[@controlname='MainForm']/element[@controlname='xtraTabControl1']/container[@controlname='xtraTabTrades']/container/container";
Changed the last container into element and it is working fine (only in visual studio)

Thanks,
