not recording drag and drop : Automation Tools

[Chris Wright]

HI,

I am trying to record a function that drags and drops dates into a calendar. Upon playback Ranorex replays the first click on the item and moves to the location that it should but without dragging the item accross?

Can anyone tell me why this might be?

Thanks
Chris

moves to the location that it should but without dragging the item accross?

Is the item itself moving or just the mouse?
Did you issue a click on the object (which is actually a click and release or did you issue a mouse down, then move, then a mouse up?

The item is not moving its just the mouse. The action is recorded as a click down in this instance.

Do you run the automation in Turbo Mode, i.e. without delays at full speed? Some controls want to be clicked for half a second or so before the enter drag & drop mode.

Another possible cause could be a focus problem. Try clicking the item first, then delay execution for a second, then start the drap & drop operation (mouse down -> move -> mouse up).
