How to get FlavorElement.Name property?

[marasanov]

Hi all,

I need to get FlavorElement,Name property (see snapshot below)

I tried with

string name = item.FlavorElement.Name;

but I can't access it that way

Do you have any idea how to handle this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you tried this...

Code: Select all

string name = item.FlavorName

Yes, I get 'WPF' when I try that.

I've managed to get a workaround with

Code: Select all

string name = item.ToString();    // this returns {Text:Engineer}

// and then I do search/replace
name = name.Replace("{Text:",string.Empty);
name = name.Replace("}",string.Empty);

This gets me what I need but it's not very elegant solution

Hello marasanov,

I would suggest taking a look at the corresponding element with Ranorex Spy.

In my sample, the value for the 'Name'-attribute of the TextBlock-element is 'Engineer'.
You can read this value using the GetAttributeValueText()-method for the corresponding element.

Code: Select all

string name = repo.<Form>.<TextBlock>.Element.GetAttributeValueText("Name");

Please let me know if you need more information.

Regards,
Johannes

HI,

I struggled just as you to get the 'Name' property from Flavorelement.

I got there using this:

Code: Select all

var CurText = ((Ranorex.Plugin.MsaaFlavorElement)cell.Element.FlavorElement).Name;

I think you could use a string also.

Hope this helps to get a more 'practical' solution to your problem.

Best regards,
Dominic
