How to get all the text elements from container : Automation API

[kiran.pol]

Hi,

There is a control of type container and it has sub elements of type text. i want to read the text value of each text in the container. How can i do this.

i tried using the following code but dose not work for me

Ranorex.Container IV_Add = <XPath of Container>
Element[] invadd=IV_Add.FindChildren(Role.Text);
for(int i=0; i<=invadd.Length; i=i+1)
{
Console.WriteLine(invadd[i].GetAttributeValue("Text"));
}

Thanks

Hi,

I would use following code to get all elements of type Ranorex.Text

Ranorex.Container cont = "yourPath";
foreach(Ranorex.Text txt in cont.FindChildren<Ranorex.Text>())
{
	Console.WriteLine(txt.TextValue);
}

Please also take a look to our tutorial

Hi ,,

Thanks the code works fine but i have on more porblem .. I actually want to get the AccessiableName or AccessiableDescription property of the text element because the text associated with the child elements is empty .. i tried using

Console.WriteLine(txt.AccessiableDescription); but i suppose that is not the way it would work
