Can we get the three things programatically using ranorex
1. Active window
2. Focused Control in a form
3. Focused Element in a Control or in a form
If you have any direct command to do so plzz let me know.

1. Active window

The static get property Form.Active retrieves the currently active top level form.
(Works only in V1.1.0 or above)

2. Focused Control in a form

The static get property Form.GetFocus returns the control that has the keyboard focus.

3. Focused Element in a Control or in a form

We don't support this functionality directly at the moment.
But you can read the selected items of the controls or you can use the Focused or Selected flag of the State enumeration.

Hi,

I am not able to use the

Form.Active

method while coding in C# using Ranorex.I am using Ranorex evaluation version 2.0.

Please let me know how I can check if a window/dialogbox is active ?

Cheers,

What do you mean with "I am not able"?

The Form adapter provides an Active property that is true if the form is the currently active window.

Well I have a form called FormEnquiry. If I add a statement like

Code: Select all

if(repo.FormEnquiry.Active)

"repo" is an instance of the GlobalRepository, I am geting a compile time error which says

'ACBS2201.GlobalRepositoryFolders.FormEnquiryAppFolder' does not contain a definition for 'Active' and no extension method 'Active' accepting a first argument of type 'ACBS2201.GlobalRepositoryFolders.FormEnquiryAppFolder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS1061) - D:\Projects\ACS\Ranorex Projects\ACBS2201\ACBS2201\Program.cs:361,24

Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?

Yes, the word "Self"

To access the adapter corresponding to a repository folder, use the Self property of the folder:

Code: Select all

if (repo.FormEnquiry.Self.Active)

thanks..that was really helpful

Is there any documentation where I can check for such missing things rather than bothering you guys every now and then ?

Cheers,

There is a documentation for the repository browser, but it does not explain the Self property of rooted folders. We will add that
