Ranorex Forum

Hi,
We have a piece of user code where we need to get the relative path from a repository item, is that possible? We know about GetPath(), but that only gives us the absolute path, right?

Hello Nicklas,

This is possible using "GetPath(PathBuildMode buildMode, Element relativeToElement)".
Please read the forum post Relative Rxpath to windows controls to get more information.

Bernhard

Thanks, however this is not what I meant, the question was not accurate. What I meant was: is there a way to get the xpath part of a repository item, i.e.
MyRepository
-MyDOM
--MyFolder :: //div[#'myDivID]
---MyItem :: ./input[@class='myClass']

We want to get the xpath of the MyItem without the basepath (which is the xpath of MyFolder).

Hi,

In order to get the RxPath of the item you need the RepoItemInfo object of the repository item. This object has an attribute named "Path" which returns the RxPath of the item.

Ranorex.Core.Repository.RepoItemInfo itemInfo = repo.RootItem.RepoItemInfo;
Report.Info("Path: "+itemInfo.Path);

Markus
