Hi Team,
I am currently using ranorex version (Trail) 5.2 for a feasibility check in one of our desktop applicaiton build in thrid party controls(Infragristic/Devexpress/WPF etc). I was trying to get row valued from a WPF grid for some validation. But Ranorex wa NOT able to recognize it as a grid/table and therefore NOT able to catch its rows/columns values.
Please see the attached Ranorex Spy shot.
Any help will be highly appriciate and will make this feasibility study successful.
regards,
Deka

Re: WPF Grid issue
Hi,
To be able to identify controls and their content, Ranorex rely on correct implementation of accessibility. Unfortunately, many 3rd party controls are built without proper implementation of accessibility. This is also a case of dev. express grid control.
Please check this post...
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/devexpress ... tml#p24708
And this post should provide you with tutorial how to enable accessibility in 3rd party controls...
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/working-wi ... tml#p26647
I'm afraid, there is no easier solution (something like enable-this-ranorex-option)
Hope this helps.

Re: WPF Grid issue
Hi,
Yes, you will either have to ask the dev. express guys to implement accessibility to their control or you will have to ask your AUT developers to try to implement the workaround from the above mentioned Ranorex blog post.

Re: WPF Grid issue
Hi deka and Odklizec,
I’m glad to inform you that we will introduce a new WPF plug-in with Ranorex 5.3. This plug-in will provide better support for third party controls and it is no longer depending on UI Automation.

Markus (S)

Re: WPF Grid issue
Hello Markus , I am evaluating Ranorex 5.3 .
At this point in time , I am also facing the issue detecting the individual rows in the Grid control. Ranroex presents me a warning to use WPF Native plygin.
Happy to know that 5.3 would resolve this. Could you please share with me the WPF Plugin , how do I enable it in 5.3 ?
Please advise. Probably that will solve my issue.
Thanks
SMita
