Ranorex Forum

Dear ranorex team,

I am developing some code to 'check/uncheck' a checkbox in a webpage of IE browser.
I notice when I try the following code:

dim chkbox as Ranorex.inputTag

chkbox = "<rx path of the checkbox>"
chkbox.checked = "False"

but the attribute <checked> of chkbox is always 'True', and there's no exception thrown if before run the code, I manually check the chkbox on the webpage

However, the following code work properly if I manuall clear the chkbox on the webpage before execute the code:

chkBox.Checked = "True"

Please advise.

thanks

Hi,

If you want to set an input-tag to "False", you have to set an empty string to the checked state.

chkbox = "<rx path of the checkbox>"
chkbox.checked = ""

We know it's a bit confusing but we cannot change it because of backwards compatibility. It will be changed with the next major release of Ranorex.

HI,

this is just to confirm that this is fixed with ranorex 2.3.2.

following code will reset checkbox 'checked' state.
