Resize Application Window : General Questions

[rj-nora]

Hello!

I'm trying to resize my Application under test doing something like this:

Ranorex.Form APPWindow = "/form[@controlname=APP]";
Ranorex.Control myControl = TaktWindow.As<Control>();
myControl.SetPropertyValue("Size", new Size(300, 200));
but it´s not working,
Ranorex tells that Control is an ambiguous reference. How can i do that?

Hi!

Use "Ranorex.Control" instead of "Control" if you have a "using System.Windows.Forms" in your code file.

BTW we have a blog about resizing windows. Please take a look on following link

Thanks but nothing is happening when Ranorex play the test.. the application Window still maximized.

Thank you

I am curious if the issue is you cannot change the size of a maximized window. Maybe you need to restore the window before you can change the size.
Try doing a form.restore then applying your window size change.
