To be able to Subsitute Application Title : RanorexSpy

[atom]

Hiya,

I have an application with a main window with title "My Application v1.0". The application has a child form, with title "My Form".

In Ranorex Spy I locate "My Form" and add it to a repository.
The problem is now that the RxPath used to find all the form controls includes text "My Application v1.0"

This is a problem as now for version 1.1, the main application window will have a different title, so none of our repository items will work, meaning a total re-record.

To avoid this what would be good is for the generated code to set "My Application v1.0" as a constant string, that can be easily changed.

Hope thats clear.

Why not just edit the repository folder that contains the "My Application v1.X" string and change it to "v1.1"? Or even better to a regular expression? If you edit the path of the application/rooted folder, the paths of all elements underneath the folder are automatically updated.

Ok... i wasnt aware of how Repository folders work
So the way they work is that a folder has an associated xpath,
and child elements in the folder inherit the path from the folder, and extend it with their own path?

Right, the paths of items in a folder are relative paths in respect to the folder (parent). So the actual path of a repository item in a folder is the folder's path concatenated with the item's path.
