I come accross this a lot where I have a control that is of the Edit Class and I'm always setting the focus of the control and then sending keystrokes to the app to add text to the text field of the edit control. Is there a better way? Why isn't there a FindEdit method? Will FindTextBox work for the Edit control? I would like to just set the text of the control to what ever I would like instead of setting focus to the control and then sending keystrokes.

Thanks for you help

Yes, you can find an edit box and set/get the text of it as follows:
(See the sample application RanorexVS2005Sample2)

Code: click into code to enlarge
TextBox textBox = form.FindTextBox("textBox1");
if (textBox != null)
{
    textBox.Focus();
    textBox.Text = "Ranorex";
    text = textBox.Text;
}


Or you can also use the Element class:

Code: click into code to enlarge
Element fileEditControl = openFileDialog.Element.FindChild(Role.Text,"File name:");
if( fileEditControl != null)
    fileEditControl.Value = "D:\\Ranorex\\Bin\\RanorexNet.dll";
