How to focus on an invisible treeitem on Outlook Navigation : General Questions

[cancerion]

Hi,

I am using Ranorex 2.1.3 I have several folders in my Outlook navigation pane.Ranorex is able to identify the folders which are even not visible.
But I want to make them visible.

Is there any API which can traverse and make that folder node visible and selected?

EnsureVisible () doesn’t work for me.

If possible please give small sample snippets.

Thanks,
Sachin

Hi cancerion!
Calling the following methods works for me in Outlook 2007:

// sample code
TreeItem pathToYourOutlookFolderItem = "/form/.../treeitem";
pathToYourOutlookFolderItem.EnsureVisible();
pathToYourOutlookFolderItem.Select();

An other choice is to use Keyboard action to scroll to the element until the treeitem is getting visible.

Best regards,

Hi,

Given snippet is working for Office 2007 for me , But Ensurevisible() doesn't work for Office 2003.And select() throw exception in Office 2003.

Hi Sachin,

I've tried it too, but the problem is that Microsoft doesn't support the Select() mode or Focus() for OUTLOOK 2003.I already tried to set the TreeItme.Selected to true, also doesn't work. I think you must find a way with a keyboardpress or scroll down with the scrollbar while the item gets visible true.
