Element passes thru hidden element, page auto scroll to top

[anmol.ait]

On AnuglarJs application I am working, I need to click on a link, which passes through the hidden element (div hierarchy)
When I try to highlight that element using ranorex, page auto scrolls to top of the page, where application is having static header and searched element goes behind that header causing not able to perform any action on that( I need to click on that to do next task)

Ranorex spy screenshot attached for clear understanding of problem

Hi,

Please upload a Ranorex snapshot. Screenshot is unfortunately useless. By highlight you mean what exactly? You select the given element in GUI tree structure in Spy or you select an xpath in repository?

I cannot share the snapshot as it would have application screenshots which is against the company policy to share.

I captured the object of application using Ranorex spy then on Ranorex spy, right click on object path and highlight. There it goes to application and page scrolls to top of the page where as Item I am looking is some where in middle of page.

Hope it helps a bit to your question.

Ranorex 6.1

Hi Anmol.ait,

Have you tried to invoke a "PerformClick" on the element?

The PerformClick should also work if the object is hidden.
Furthermore, you could try if this issue still occurs, if you turn off "EnsureVisible" for this element. Therefore, go to the properties of your element in question and set "Use Ensure Visible" to false.

Make sure to do so for all parent folders of this element.

Hope this helps.

Hi asdf

with useEnsureVisible false it worked as expected.
Thank you the solution.
