Hi,

Would it be possible to post us a Ranorex Snapshot of your entire application and the RxPath you use to search for an element? Then is would be much easier to help you with improving the performance for you RxPath.

Thank you for reply.
I had send the snapshot file to support@ranorex.com, and the ranorexpath was "/form[@automationid='VisualStudioMainWindow']/container[@classname='DockRoot']/tabpagelist/tabpage/container[@automationid='D:0:0:{3AE0C910-9CAC-492B-B67D-9032344D6720}|MetadataProject.Metadata\MetadataProject.Metadata.mdproj|c:\users\zhangzh-a.grandsoft\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MetadataProject\MetadataProject.Metadata\NewEntity.metadata.entity||{47117862-E59D-478F-8E86-12A13D6B719A}']"

Given there were numbers of add-in editors and usercontrols(mainly include usercontrol in editor) , and we will make automated test serveral times every night. So,We hope that search one control about 1 second.If it achieve the goal would be appreciated!

Hi,

I'm sorry but we did not get any snapshot file from you for now.
Please either send it to support@ranorex.com or attach it to your next forum post.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the snapshot. I saw that the AutomationID of the control you are searching for is very long. Therefore it could take longer. Instead of your RxPath please try the following one

/form[@automationid='VisualStudioMainWindow']/container[@classname='DockRoot']/tabpagelist/tabpage/container[@name='Entity: NewEntity*']

I would also suggest you to read following blog

Thank you for replay.
I'm not sure wether the issue was cause by the ranorexxmlpath,the path i posted was captured by spy tool, but in my test case the path as brief as you suggest.
It was fantasy that i download version3.1.0 and reinstall it ,i found the search speed of control had improved obviously.It was faster,which expensed 2 seconds to search a cotrol!
