Re: Find element under a form
If you haven't, it could be helpful to review some background on Ranorex Adapters. The elements are in the Ranorex namespace NOT under Ranorex.Core.rajeswari wrote:Error message :-

If your app is a Win32 application, you can try NativeItem or NativeWindow. If all else fails you should be able to use Unknown

Hi Vaughan,
Thanks for the suggestion, i'm using Unknown and it works fine.
.
formInfo.FindAdapter<Form>().FindDescendant<Ranorex.Unknown>("agbFindBar").Click();
Thanks

Re: Find element under a form
I am glad to hear that. Just keep in mind "Unknown" is extremely generic, so you may get additional/better functionality if you find a better fit.rajeswari wrote:Hi Vaughan,
