Sorry, we have no special scroll bar functions in V1.2, we are currently working on some extensions.
But you can solve your problem with the Element class, find the scroll bar buttons by Role and Name and push them, or read the position of the Indicator.

As you told i was trying with Element class.Through Ranorex Spy I have got Role:PushButton and Name:Line down to scroll down my ListView after that i am trying to do that by give code:

Element *pushdown=form->Element->FindChild(Ranorex::Role::PushButton,"Line down");
Mouse::ClickElement(pushdown);

This code is not working.Its always Mouse RightClick on top left corner on the current open window not even in my application. Please suggest me any way so i can do that its very critical.I am using RanorexPro1.2 which is paid version.

The scrollbar has two "line down" buttons, a visible and an unvisible one.
You have to click the visible one:

[saurabh]

the snippet of code what you send helped a lot. and instead of "linedown" we used "Page down" and "Page up" to scroll.

But there is a problem. when the scroll bar is already up and we perform "Page up" operation, the mouse arrow goes to the invisible section and clicks. this is creating a problem and missing some of the operations it is to perform. So what we were looking was if we find out that the scrollbar is already up it should not perform the page up operation any more.

we also tried using the "Indicator" i.e the scroll bar
Ranorex::Element* Ind[] = lvCtrl->Element->FindChildren(Role::Indicator,"Position");
it is receiving all the indicator in the array. but we are again not able to find out if the indicator is already up, and the perform "page up" if required.

thanks

This is what I do; it may work you:

Ranorex.Control control = form.FindControlId(scrollID);
if (control != null)
{
for (int i=1; i<=scrollCount; i++)
{
Element scrollElement = control.Element.FindChild(Role.PushButton, "Page up");
if (scrollElement != null && (!scrollElement.State.Equals(State.Invisible)))
{
Console.WriteLine("Time to start scrolling");
Mouse.ClickElement(scrollElement);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Time to stop scrolling");
break;
}
}
}
