Hi Team,

I am working on windows based application where I want to click on checkboxlistitem, I am able to click on listitem as attached in snpashot.

I am trying with below code.

Ranorex.List casList= labWinRepo.EfterbestaellningAnalyser.EditPnl.CLBlocknr;IList<ListItem> listOfChkBox=casList.FindChildren<ListItem>();
int cnt = listOfChkBox.Count;
foreach(Ranorex.ListItem chkBox in listOfChkBox)
{
chkBox.Focus();
Mouse.Click(chkBox);
}
}

Hi,

You don't have to use FindChildren at all and I would personally avoid hardcoding repo item in code. I would suggest to create a method, with RepoItemInfo parameter, pointing to repo element returning list of all ListItems, with xpath like this:

Code: Select all

/form[@name='SyLaEfterbestFrm']/container[@name='editPnl']//list[@name='CLBlocknr']/listitem
Then use this code, which should create a list of all list items and click them:

Code: Select all

public void ClickListItems(RepoItemInfo listItemsInfo)  // where listItemsInfo points to the repo element, with xpath returning list of all listitems
    {
        IList <Ranorex.ListItem> listItemsList = listItemsInfo.CreateAdapters<Ranorex.ListItem>(false);
        foreach (Ranorex.ListItem listItemSingle in listItemsList )
        {
            listItemSingle.Click();
        }
    }
Hope this helps?

Hi ,
I tried with below code but getting error.
Cannot implicitly convert type 'Ranorex.ListItem' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IList<Ranorex.ListItem>'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Hi,

Sorry, my mistake. Please try to change listItemsInfo.CreateAdapter to listItemsInfo.CreateAdapters.

Hi,

Well, the snapshot does not differ between the checkbox square and its description. Which means, there is no way to track and click just the checkbox element. I guess that if you manually click (simple left click) the checkbox name, it will not check the checkbox square as well? In this case, try double click action. Depending of the checkbox implementation, double click could help.

Another way could be to click on string, just to select the item you want to check, and then send 'Space' shortcut, which should check the checkbox. And yet another solution could be using SetValue (Checked) or InvokeAction (Check/Uncheck or DoDefaultAction) actions.
