FindChildren with Infragistics-WinGrid : Automation API

[Schuco]

It's no problem to retrieve the rows:
Element[] rows = parent.FindChildren(Role.Row);

My problem is when the Grid is filtered, I always get all rows and the rows only differ in their state ( Invisible ), for 4000 rows FindChildren runs at least 15 minutes, is there a workaround for retrieving only visible rows?

You can set the Element.IgnoreInvisible property to true. That way, invisible elements will be ignored in the FindChild(ren) methods.

That does not work faster.

If Element.IgnoreInvisible is set, the FindChildren method should skip all invisible rows. That should enhance the search performance.
Could you please check if the state of the invisible row elements is indeed State.Invisible?

Code: Select all

bool isInvisible = (row.State & State.Invisible) != 0;

I tried it with a for-loop, only the invisible rows have state:Invisible
If I step through the children with a for-loop, the higher the count ( up to 3970 ) the worse the performance !! Even when I loop through them backwards !!

In fact, the FindChildren did not react to the Element.IgnoreInvisible property. We've fixed that bug in the current Ranorex version (1.4.0.5) available at:
