how to check element clickable or not

[sdimbre]

Hi All,

I need to check following two elements clickable or not.

1) //span[id='spanid']
2) //a[id='aid']

Thanks,

Hi,

Would it be possible to post us a Ranorex Snapshot of those elements?

The exact xPath for this element is
/dom[@domain='domain' and @caption='caption']//div[@id='LABEL_HOLDER']//span[@id='LABEL']
and on GUI it displays text like 'LABEL', my test case is to check that this LABEL should not be clickable.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for posting us the RxPath, but I would need a Ranorex Snapshot to analyze your issue?

Hi sdimbre

Can you please define what is "clickable" ?
I'm asking because in 99% of cases you can move mouse over element and click. So most likely "clickable" should mean - something happens after clicking on this element. And "non-clickable" should mean - nothing is happening after clicking on element
Is that what you are mean "clickable"?

Hi,

currently i have this problem.
An element is greyed out but visible for Ranorex.
I want to check wheather this object is not "Clickable" in a certain state.

fyi: I am a total beginner in ranorex.

Hi Steve20, it sounds like you want to validate that the element has an 'Enabled' value of False.

Once you use Spy to get the element attributes, you can then use 'Path Editor' to configure your Xpath to be specific to your needs.

Expand the 'Path Editor' general section and tick the checkbox for 'enabled' and select false from the dropdown menu. Your Xpath should look something like this:

/dom[@domain='domain' and @caption='caption']//div[@id='LABEL_HOLDER']//span[@id='LABEL' and @enabled='False']

Hi,

Thanks benny for your post!

I just wanted to add that it is also possible to validate if the specific attribute is set to a specific value.
You just need to drag'n'drop the repisitory item representing the specific live element to your action table and select Validate-> AttributeEqual -> Enabled -> True as shown below:
