Can't get column header cell if table is null : Bug Reports

[alex]

Hi,
I'm using Ranorex 3.2 to test Flex applications. I found this issue as title.
Snapshot has been attached. Please check.

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

that's correct.
In flex it's by design, that theres is now row representing the header.
You have to access the header via the representing column.

Hi,
You can see from snapshot file. There is no child under column, so I can only get the whole column, not the column header cell.

Hi,

...There is no child under column...

yes, there is no child cell.
That's as I said by design.
But the headers text is stored in the attribute name of the column.


Kind regards,

Hi Tobias,
But I want to click the header cell, then do something.
How can I do it?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can perform a click action on the row with relative coordinates on the header.

How to get header?


By the way, column header cells always exist whether table is null or not. So this is wrong Ranorex provides header cell when table has data, but doesn't when table is null.

Hi,

To get the header, create a repository item for your header. You can do this by tracking the header with the spy and drag&drop the column from the spy to the repository in Ranorex Studio.
You can also use the Add New Item - Add Item action in Ranorex Studio repository. Your path to the name column should be something like that

Code: Select all

/dom[@domain]/body/flexobject/container/container/container/element/element/container/element/container/container/container/element/container/container/element/container/table/column[@text='Name']

or abbreviate it to

Code: Select all

/dom[@domain]/body/flexobject//table/column[@text='Name']

To create your own actions (click on the item) in the recorder without recording, have a look at the blog about manually generated recordings.

Hi,
I want to get the column header cell rather than all the column.
And as I said in previous response:
