Read state of checkbox

Post by dareim » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:13 am

Hello all

I can't find a way to get the state of a checkbox (checked or not checked).
WebElement.Value is always "on".

My code:
ACADoc = WebDocument.OpenDocument(url, true, 30000);
WebElement e = ACADoc.FindSingle(CheckBoxId);
e.?


Thanks for helping,
Daniel

Get the value of the "Checked" attribute, it should return the string "True" if the checkbox is checked:

Code: Select all

string checkedString = e.GetAttribute(Attributes.Checked);

Hi Alex

I don't know what I'm doing wrong - but my checkedString variable stays null, when I try the code from you.
There is no difference, if the checkbox is checked or not.

Regards,
Daniel

That sounds like a bug we fixed in the latest Ranorex 1.5 update (V1.5.1.5004). Please download the latest version and try again with the update DLLs!

Yes, V1.5.1 works!
Thanks for the help.

Is there an overview of the parameters for the method GetAttribute(..) ?

Kind regards,
Daniel

The attribute names are listed in the Ranorex.Web.Attributes class. Just use any of the fields as parameter to the WebElement.GetAttribute method as in the example I posted above.
