Need to find Datagrid without giving the ControlName

[palanikumar.m]

I need to find one DataGrid from Form. But i dont know the ControlName. Because RanorexSpy didnt give the ControlName. it gives the Classname and controlID only.

Now, how i find the DataGrid?

Plz, help for this problem!!!!!!!

Thanks & Regards,

The Control Id is usually sufficient to uniquely identify a control (unless it's a .NET control which have dynamic control ids). Just use one of the Control.Find... methods (e.g. FindControlId or FindButton(Int32 controlId)) to search for the datagrid.

Perhaps it's a good idea to read the Ranorex User Guide, especially the Quick Start page!

DataGrid dataGrid = form.FindDataGrid("dataGridView1");
// Reading colum text of column 1
String columnText = dataGrid.GetColumnText(1);
Console.WriteLine("DataGrid ColCount = {0} ", dataGrid.ColumnCount);

instead of above suppose, if i am using,

DataGrid dataGrid = form.FindControlId("...");

(or)

DataGrid dataGrid = form.FindClassName("...");

It asking the cast converter, What i need to give for cast conversion?

Thanks & regards,

The FindControlId method returns a Control instance even if the found control is indeed a datagrid. However, if you know that the returned control is a datagrid, you can construct a DataGrid object in the following way:

Hi Alex,

I have inserted code, what you have suggested me.

But i got exception in a form.FindControlId and dataGridControl.Handle

I got the below exception :

"Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out............."

I feel very hard to describe all those things.

Could you plz, call my number. Or, can you give me your contact number?

Because, Now i am evaluating the testing tools for select one.

if problem solved, my company will purchase this tool.

I only know this kind of error message ("Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out") from the Visual Studio debugger when you are stepping through code slowly. Please, try to set a breakpoint at the exact point in the code that you want to inspect!
