Hi, I want to test our GUI application. We use our controls in the main form, and I don't know how to get them.
I want to try to get them with ControlId but I saw that it isn't fix, and it changed all the time.
so my question is: in your RanorexSpy how do you get the Control ID of the controls?

Handle, Class name and ControlId are old properties of windows controls.
Use these properties only if you want to automate an old windows application.

In .NET applications the ControlId is different every time you launch the form, so you cannot use this as your identifier. The class name is also dynamically generated.
Use the ControlName property to find a control in a .NET application.

A ControlName is a unique identifier in a .NET form and a ControlId is a unique identifies in older windows applications or dialogs.
