Hello,

Could you please post or send us ([email protected]) a Ranorex Snapshot of your application?

Thanks for your answer.
I tried to use Ranorex 4.0.2,this issue still.
there is snapshot file attached.

Hello,

Thank you for your snapshot.

Unfortunately, this specific control 'Aga.Controls.TreeView' doesn't provide any accessibility by default.
Therefore, Ranorex and other automation tools couldn't access underlying TreeItems.
If you have access to the source code, you might be able to modify the Tree in order support accessibility.

Thank you for your understanding.

hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
i can access to the source code,i donot know how to modify.
Please provide detailed information about it.

Thanks.

Hello,

We currently provide a blog about Enabling automation for 3rd party controls by adding accessibility.
This blog uses the specific TreeViewAdv control in order to describe necessary steps to enable automation.
Additionally, you will find sample source code that you could use for your own implementation.

Please let me know if you need further information.

I'd like to raise this post again.

I downloaded the sample app from the mentioned blog post, yet I am not able to access the tree view elements in Ranorex spy on my computer (Windows 7).

On other devices or even VM's (using the same Windows 7 edition) everything works fine.

Do you have any idea, what could be wrong on my side? I tried started both processes as the same user, running them as administrator, copying the executables in the same directory, yet still I had no success.

My Ranorex version is 5.2.1.20895 and I use Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. I also attached a snapshot.

Any help or further ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hello cro117,

Dear Robert,

thanks for your kind offer - after a lot of tinkering it turned out I had to recompile the sample using a specific platform configuration (x86) and when using the corresponding Ranorex Spy program (32 bit) it works as expected.

I have no idea why the "any" configuration does not work on my machine, however I got the sample up and running now.

Best regards.

Hello cro117,

I'm glad that you were able to overcome the issue.

Robert
