Hi Kumar!
Use the BrowserName property from the WebDocument class.

example code:

WebDocument webDocument = "Path/To/the/browser/DOM";
string browserName = webDocument.BrowserName;

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply. Is there any other way to identify the browser name without declaring the path in webdocument.

Do you have more than one browser open or just a single browser?

Regardless, you can get an IList of all the forms displayed on the host then iterate the list searching for either the only browser or a browser that happens to have context.

Something like this. Keep in mind this is not tested code but an example I just wrote up here:

Code: Select all

IList<Ranorex.Form> AllForms = Host.Local.FindChildren<Ranorex.Form>();
foreach (Ranorex.Form ThisForm in AllForms )
{
  //here search for the property of the web document to determine if it is the one you want.
  //If so break out of the loop and use the ThisForm object as your form.
}

Sure, for a given web element you can use a RanoreXPath to find its parent/ancestor DOM element and then get the browser name from that element:

WebElement webElement;
WebDocument doc = webElement.FindSingle<WebDocument>("ancestor-or-self::dom");
string browserName = doc.BrowserName;

Hi All,
I was able to check the browser and activate by the following way

webdocument wb = null;
if(wb.pageurl.tostring().contains("Home"))
{
wb.browser.activate();
}
