Ranorex cannot find Qt elements in GraphicsView

Post by Gav » Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:03 pm

We're using Qt's Webkit widget, powered by their GraphicsView as part of a new UI. We've found that Ranorex cannot identify any of the page objects. We have copied all Qt accessibility plugins into the application's directory and created the qt.conf file as per the advice in Ranorex Help but to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get around this issue?

Thanks,

Gav

Hello Gav,

Unfortunately we are currently not supporting QT Webkit widgets. We are planning to release a QT plugin for better object recognition within the third quarter this year.
We consider the integration of Qt Webkit support if it could be done with a reasonable expense.
Thank you for your patience.

We preserve the right to change the Roadmap whenever necessary! Features might not be in a certain Release, as well as Delays might occur.

Regards,
Robert

Hi there,

In case anyone else out there has experienced this issue, we have found a way for Ranorex to correctly identify elements. We implemented QAcessibleInterface and mapped DOM elements onto accessible controls.
