Silverlight: How to access rows/columns in Datagrid : Object Identification and Technologies

[rekha1234]

Hi,

I am new to Ranorex and Automating Silverlight applications. I am supposed to automate clicking on a row in the the Datagrid based on its column value. Below are some details of the Datagrid

Ranorex Path: /dom[@domain='00.00.000.00']/body/form/div[@id='silverlightControlHost']/object/form/tabpagelist[6]/tabpage/table[@automationid='dg_Files']

AutomationID: dg_Files
ClassName:DataGrid
Frameworkid:Silverlight
IsContentElemet True
IsControlElement True

Can someone please guide me on how to instantiate the data grid and access elements in that

Hi,

Please could you post us a Ranorex Snapshot of the DataGrid. With this snapshot it is much easier to analyze your issue.

From the snapshot this task looks pretty straight forward. Ranorex does not identify the cells correctly as such (they only show up as "Element", not as "Cell"), but still you can get to all data within them.
The children of the "RowsPresenter" element represent the rows in the datagrid, i.e. the elements with name "System.ComponentModel.CheckableItem...". The children of the elements representing the rows are the actual cells of the grid, again containing elements for the content of the cells. Your code could look like the following:

Ranorex.Table table = "pathToTable";
IList<Ranorex.UIAutomation> rows = table.Find<UIAutomation>(
    "element[@automationid='RowsPresenter']/element");
// get cells of first row
IList<Ranorex.UIAutomation> cellsInFirstRow = rows[0].Find<UIAutomation>("element");
