Drag and Drop support : Automation API

[balajichandan]

Hi,
Does Ranorex 2.1.3 and 1.5 versions support Drag and drop functionality in Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007

[Support Team]

Ranorex 2.X as well as Ranorex 1.5 support drag & drop operations in every application, consequently also in Outlook 2003/2007.

You can easily check that by recording a drag & drop operation with Ranorex Recorder. The recorder should replay the operation just fine and should also generated code for you.

I'm trying to Drag and Drop an email from Outlook 2010 inbox , to another Outlook folder.
But the item is not getting moved to the destination.
Strangely , if I move the mouse a bit(manually) when the code is executing, the action completes successfully.
Even the recorder shows the same problem.

Below is the snippet

Code: Select all

FormMicrosoftOutlook.Element4704.Click("X;Y");
FormMicrosoftOutlook.Element4704.MoveTo("X;Y");
Mouse.ButtonDown(MouseButtons.Left);
Delay.Milliseconds(6430);
Mouse.MoveTo(trNode.Element);
Mouse.ButtonUp(MouseButtons.Left);

Hi,

you can try to automate your application using our GDI plug-in.
You can find more information about this plug-in on following link:

I have Ranorex 2.1.2 , but GDI capture works only with works with version 2.3.4 and higher.

Surely, I did try GDI first with 2.1.2 (just in case I get lucky) – Did not work

Then I downloaded Ranorex trial version 2.3.5 , added the GDI pluggin.
But Outlook 2010 crashes when I try to use Ranorex Spy or recorder on the same.
