Ranorex Forum

Hi,
is it possible to use a validation variable to identify a repository item? For example, my AUT creates a database entry with unpredictable name, and I want to click that entry. I have means to look up the name and save it into a validation variable, but once it's there, how do I use it in the repository item? As far as I understand, a RanorexPath like requires that $name be a repository variable. Is it possible to bind both types of variables to the same parameter, so that the dynamically created value of the validation variable changes the UI element which the repository item refers to? Any other (better) suggestions?

Thank you
Hans

When I use data-driven repo items in my code modules I just set the repository variable before using the repo item that refers to that variable.

Just a short follow-up to let you know that I solved the problem, using a parameter that is bound to the variable.
