Find form by "Control name"

[david_dawkins]

Hi,
Amongst other things, RanorexSpy shows me "Class name", "Control name" and "Caption/text". I can see the API in Application to find a form by class name, and by caption text.

However, my application's "Control name" is the key I need to locate its form; how do I do this? It's as if I need Application.FindFormByControlName.

(Caption/text changes too often to be reliable, and the "class name" is junk - anyone know how to set that programmatically?)

Thanks!

It's as if I need Application.FindFormByControlName.

Good idea, we will support this function in the next version.

But you can find the form easily in V1.1.0:

Code: Select all

Application.GetForms();
foreach (Form form in Application.Forms)
{
    if (form.Name == "SearchedForm" )
    {
        form.Activate();
        break;
    }
}

Thanks for your reply ; however I have no method Form.Name in the v1.1.0 that I have installed.

Error 1 'Ranorex.Form' does not contain a definition for 'Name' C:\Program Files\Ranorex-1.1.0\Samples\RanorexVS2005Sample1\Class1.cs 131 25 RanorexVS2005Sample1

Intellisense doesn't show it to me, either. The documentation however claims that it should be there.

Thanks

The Name and ControlId property are only supported in the professional version.

Sorry for the missing comment "Supported only in RanorexPro" in the documentation.

We will extend the documentation for the next version.
