GDI Plugin Configuration : Automation API

[atom]

Hiya

In Ranorex 301

Is there no way to programatically configure the GDI/RawText plugin?
Perhaps not in the standard API, but some configuration class I can dynamically load?

The problem is we have a test dev environment and a test execution environment
And we dont want to have to move the config file between these environments each time a developer
writes a test that needs this enabled on a certain control

Thanks

Hi,

With following lines of code you can add process and class names programatically to the config of your RawText.

//To add the process name to the config
RawTextFlavor.Instance.ProcessNames.Add(new Regex("processname pattern"));
//To add the class name to the config
RawTextFlavor.Instance.ClassNames.Add(new Regex("classname pattern"));

Don't forget to add the namespace

using Ranorex.Plugin;

I have following entry in my "GDI Capture Settings -> Window Class Names":
GXWND.*
So, i decided to try API, mentioned above.
I removed my entry from "GDI Capture Settings -> Window Class Names" and added this code to recording module:

RawTextFlavor.Instance.ClassNames.Add(new Regex("GXWND.*"));

But got following error:
Ranorex.ElementNotFoundException: Failed to find item 'Review1Repository.FormSelect_Procedure.FirstRowN' within the specified timeout of 3000ms. ---> Ranorex.ElementNotFoundException: No element found for path 'element/element[@controlid='1013']/rawtext[@column='0' and @row='1']' within 3000ms.

at Review1.Review1RepositoryFolders.FormSelect_ProcedureAppFolder.get_FirstRowN() in c:\AutoRex\Review\Review1\Review1Repository.cs:line 2162

What did i do wrong? Why it's not working?

P.S. Here is screenshot of base class:

As you can see it's name is GXWND. So i tried to use "GXWND" without *, but result is same.

Hi,

It seems the Plug-Ins are not loaded when you add your class to the config.
Please execute following line of code before you edit the config using the API.

var plugins = Ranorex.Core.PluginManager.Instance;
plugins.LoadDefaultPlugins();
