Request: Disable the "Topmost" setting on Ranorex Spy

Post by Ciege » Fri Jun 19, 2009 11:09 pm

Could you please disable the requirement for Ranorex Spy to be the topmost window when it is opened? It just gets in the way too much for me. When I have my AUT open and use SPY to find (for example) the name of a control I then want to tab over to Visual Studio to enter the control name into the appropriate line of code. However, Spy is still topmost (and usually covering the area of code I am working in) so I have to take just a little more time to go to the mouse and minimize Spy before I can do my work.

I know it seems petty, but when you have to do it over and over again it gets annoying.

Thanks...

You are right, the "topmost" behavior might by annoying. :? That's why we'll provide a setting to enable/disable that behavior with the upcoming service release 2.1.2. The service release should be available next week.
