Adding Size setting to Xpath

[965702]

Hello Guys

I am trying to narrow down the insrtances Ranorex is locating a container. Currently it is finding 8 instances but I only want a certain one. The current Xpath is as follows:

/form[@title~'-']/element[@class='AfxMDIFrame100']//container[@instance='0']

I tried adding an extra instance to the end:

/form[@title~'-']/element[@class='AfxMDIFrame100']//container[@instance='0'] [8]

But when the system changes to another sector (I work on Air Traffic Systems) the instance simply couldn't be seen.

My question; is there a way we can add the size to the Xpath as this is unique?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Could you please upload a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screesnhot) of the app under test? This would greatly help us to find a best way, how to specify the xpath for your particular element.

Generally speaking, it should be possible to add a width/height and x/y coordinates of desired element to the xpath. This information just got lost in new Ranorex User guide. Check for example this post:

Thanks for the response.

The SIZE of the instance is 585,67 I'm not sure how to insert this as i dont want to edit the form only the container:

/form[@title~'-']/element[@class='AfxMDIFrame100']//container[@instance='0']

I'm not at work so cant upload just yet.

Hi,

Unfortunately, without snapshot, I can only guess the xpath You can try something like this:

/form[@title~'-']/element[@class='AfxMDIFrame100']//container[@instance='0' and (width()=585 and height()=67)]
