Have to perform Click(). Only if elemnt visible in desktop

[aravin]

Hi,

I need to find & click the elemnt from the list of thumbnail.

Some thumbnails are not visible in screen, but it perform

Code: Select all

thumb.Foucs

and

Code: Select all

thumb.Visible

it return the "true".

But when I try to click the element it shows error.

So How to click the element only if it is visible in the screen, otherwise have to skip that

Code: Select all

Click()

and continue the next step?[/b]

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Could you please post a screenshot of your desktop and also Ranorex snapshot of the thumbnail in question? If the thumbnail is not visible on desktop but Ranorex spy returns Visible = true, then it's weird. Could it be that the thumbnail in question is somewhere outside the visible area of screen? Could you reproduce this problem with something windows specific (e.g. create a thumbnail for Calculator and place it on desktop).

Anyway, you will have to use code to achieve what you want. It's currently not possible to perform logical operations from recording. But if visible attribute always returns true, you will have to find another way how to make the sure the thumbnails is visible/accessible for click. As mentioned, screenshot and snapshot would be extremely helpful here

Thanks man. Is there any logic from your end?

Hi,

Logic in what? Have you tried the steps from my previous post?

[aravin]

Yes.

I can reproduce same issue.

It is common. You can find in any application that contain list of thumbnail.. Try to click the thumbnail which is out the desktop. It will show the error message.

"Element is outside the desktop screen...."

You may try to uncheck this setting option...

Another thing you might try is using EnsureVisible method, which tries to bring the element to visible area of screen.

Code: Select all

repo.elementname.EnsureVisible();

Anyway, think the only way how to detect if the thumbnail is outside the visible area of desktop, is to get the monitor resolution (I'm sure there is a system function for this?), size of desktop (from repo element attributes), get the coordinates of thumbnails (from repo element attributes) and then calculate if the thumbnail coordinates are within the visible area of desktop.
