modal window hidden instead of closed : Automation Tools

[Chris Wright]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help.

I have recorded a test where our application opens one modal window and then another modal window from that. A test is recorded where the active window has an item selected and then the 'ok' button should be clicked to close the window.

However on playback the test selects the item but will not click the OK button, instead it hides the active modal window behind the application, making the whole app inactive.

I have tried several different recording methods in Ranorex to try and get round this with no luck.

Cheers
Chris

Hi,

Do you have tried to call "Focus() or EnsureVisible()" before you click on the Button, because it seems that Ranorex loses the focus of the button?

repo.YourButton.Focus();
OR
repo.YourButton.EnsureVisible();
AND
repo.YourButton.Click();

You can also try to set the "Use Ensure Visible" property of your repository item to true.

Thanks for your responce.

I have been looking in the properties and cannot find 'use ensure visible'.
Can you tell me where I find this?

Thanks
Chris

Apologies, I have found this property now but unfortunately setting it to true does not solve the problem.

It actually looks like the replay is attempting to click the OK button on the window beneath rather than the OK button on the window in focus.

Hi,

have you tried to use the code Markus has mentioned in his last post:

repo.YourButton.Focus();

//or

repo.YourButton.EnsureVisible();

//Before doing the Click Action:

repo.YourButton.Click();

Hi,

You can add a "User Code" to your Recording, just click on "Add New Action" and select "User Code". After you added a method name you can add these mentioned code to the specific created method in the "Recording1.UserCode.cs" file.
