Cannot find 'button' due to Ranorex progress bar pop up in right side bar of the screen

[Rajnish]

Hi,

I am trying to automate a desktop application which have buttons on the right down corner of the screen, which will be hidden by the ranorex test run progress bar. Is there any way to drag or collapse the progress bar? So that the button will be visible? or is there any way to make button visible and get clicked. please help me do this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This is weird. As long as the element is available in UI, Ranorex should be able to find it, no matter if it's covered by another window/element. Additionally, if there should be performed a mouse click, progress dialog should automatically move out of the element's rectangle. At least it works for me that way?

Could you please share a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of the element, along with its xpath? Also, exact error, as shown in report, would be nice too. Thanks.

As for moving or collapsing progress dialog, as far as I know, there is no such option. But you can hide it, either from Ranorex UI (Test Suite settings) or code. See this post:

xpath = '/form[@title>'LightWave - Inventory']/text[@caption='Lightwave - Inventory']/container[1]//button[@automationid='okButtonDialog']'
