Cannot convert from 'Ranorex.Unknown' to 'Ranorex.Button'

Post by mohan.pentyala » Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:10 am

Hi

I have created a function to perform click operation on buttons.I am trying to call that fuction by passing object from reporsitoy .But it is giving me error as cannot convert from 'Ranorex.Unknown' to 'Ranorex.Button'

Can you please help me to resolve the issue :

Funcation :

public bool fn_IsButtonVisibleEnabled(Button Objfusion)
// {
// Boolean visible = Objfusion.Element.Visible;
// Boolean enabled = Objfusion.Element.Enabled;
// if(visible == true && enabled == true)
// return true;
// else
// return false;
// }
#endregion


Locator from Repository :

/form[@title='Fusion']//element[@windowtext='Save']


Code module :
loc.fn_ClickButton(repo.Fusion.btnSave);

Hi,

The element in question is apparently not a button, so why do you need to convert it to button? BTW, the click operation should be possible even on unknown element. So why do you need to convert it to button anyway? ;)

So keep it unknown? If I'm not mistaken, attributes like 'visible' and 'click' method should be available even for unknown elements?
