Ranorex Forum

I am trying to identify the parent of some rawtextblock

The parent's xpath is element[@controlid='59648']. It is a window with many children, one of which is a rawtextblock. When I make a recording I want that Ranorex Studio identifies the parent while clicking on rawtextblock.

I tried to describe this block as element[@controlid='59648']/rawtextblock/.. It is nicely highlighted in Spy, but during a recording RanorexStudio ignores this item and produces a new rawtextblock. I also tried to set the xpath weight to exclude a rawtextbox from the search but also without success. Are there any way to solve this problem?

Hello BorisS,

Please check whether the “controlid” of the parent element changes.

If the “controlid” is not causing the issue, please create a Ranorex snapshot of your application under test. Either upload the file to the forum or send it to [email protected]

Thanks,
Robert
