Ranorex Forum

Hi. This may be a unique attempt. I have a dropdown which has one value alone (gr1). My Test is to ensure that the drop down do not have anything other than gr1. Hence, need to validate to see if gr2 does not exist. Problem is when i click on Select dropdown box gr1 is visible, if i then click on the recorder validate option, gr1 which was brought by clicking on select dropdown box get invisible. I then have to click again on dropdown box to bring gr1, but never select validate on gr1 (so that i can change to gr2 does not exist. PFA Snapshot.

Hi,

If I understood you correctly, then you have the following possibility.
That what you want to achieve you can do over user code.
First of all forget clicking on select tags, it will never work, if do cross browser testing.

If you want to Validate and set or unset the value, you can do this over user code.
Add on the User Code and create function like.

using System.Core;

public void SetSelectTagByOptionValue(RepoItemInfo repoInfo, string optionValue)
{
   
        var element = repoInfo.CreateAdapter<Unkown>(true);
	SelectTag ranorexSelectTag = element.Element;
				
	IList<OptionTag> options = ranorexSelectTag.Options;
	IList<OptionTag> optionTagList = options.Where(tempOption => tempOption.Value!= null && tempOption.Value.Trim().Equals(optionValue.Trim(),StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).ToList();
				
	if(optionTagList.Count == 1)
	{
		OptionTag singleOptionTag = optionTagList.ElementAt(0);
		singleOptionTag.Selected = true;
					
		ranorexSelectTag.TagValue = singleOptionTag.Value;
         }
}

And if you want to validate the selecttag when the value is set you have to replace the code in the if section. With

Element selectedElement = selectedOptionTagEnum.ElementAt(0).Element;
Validate.Attribute(selectedElement ,attributeValue, expectedValue, "The expected value {3} from item " + repoInfo.Name + " of type: " + selectedElement.PreferredCapability.DisplayName + " on attribute {1} could be validated");

Hi,

Sorry but I forgot a small information. You have to set your Target Framework to: .Net 3.5 Framework, in your project settings -> on compiling tab.

Sorry about that
Dan

Hi. Yes it was earlier set to .NET 3.5.

Hi,

And also add the Ranorex.Core Namespace, for the RepoItemInfo Object.

Regards
Dan

Hi. I am new to C#. could you please suggest how to add them. i have provided two class above(program.cs and SelectTextbox.cs)

Hi,

In the attachment I have re implement the select method you created in a own class. I removed the code lines in the Program.cs.
You can use it directly in the Recording1. Now if you want to use this method, just make an inheritance in the user code file of your recording.
If you need still help pleas let me know.

Regards
Dan
