Ranorex Windows Application

A Ranorex Windows Application provides a Windows Forms based project frame to execute Ranorex test automation code through a graphical user interface. In addition to the required standard references the project contains the 'MainForm.cs' and the 'MainForm.Designer.cs' files.

The 'MainForm.Designer.cs' file offers the ability to switch between a 'Source' and a 'Design' view. Activating the 'Design' view (see red box in the picture above) enables you to create a Windows Forms based application containing typical controls like text boxes or buttons. Activate the 'Tools' view using the menu item 'View' | 'Tools' to see all available controls for your windows forms application.

To execute some automation code based on a button click, double click a button in design view to open the appropriated source file.
