Dumping out the element tree

This Documentation is only for Ranorex 1.x versions.

Sometimes it can be useful to dump out the whole element tree to see the relationship of the items:
C#
static public void DumpElementTree(Element element, int level)
{
      level++;
      int childCount = element.GetChildCount;
      for(int index=0;index<childCount;index++)
      {
            Element child = element.GetChild(index);
            if( child == null )
            {
 
                  Console.WriteLine("  Cannot read child({0}",index);
 
                  continue;
 
            }
 
            // Select the child
            child.Select(Selection.TakeFocus | Selection.TakeSelection);
           
            Point point =  child.Location;
            Size  size  = child.Size;
            if ( !size.IsEmpty )
            {
                  Mouse.Move(point.X + size.Width/4, point.Y +
                  size.Height/2,50);
            }
                 
            String spaces = new String(' ',2*level);
           
            if ( !size.IsEmpty )
               Console.WriteLine("{0}Role={1} Name={2} Location=({3},{4})",
                   spaces,child.Role.ToString(),child.Name,point.X,point.Y);
            else
               Console.WriteLine("{0}Role={1} Name={2}",
                  spaces,child.Role.ToString(),child.Name);
                       
            DumpElementTree(child,level);
      }
}
