How to... Scrool the screen?

[Vanderson]

Hi Guys!
Good Morning/evening/night to all.

I have one beginner question: In my AUT I have one routine like setup: Validation, next, validation, next, fill one field, next...etc. In one specific screen, I need to choose a time zone (in one screen with several options) and I choose Mouse wheel action (Orientation Vertical, Delta -1300) to scroll down the screen to find the correct time zone. It's ok but if the mouse pointer isn't over the AUT screen, the mouse wheel function don't works and the test fail.

My question is:
1 - How to put the mouse over the AUT screen to Mouse wheel function work's correct?
OR
2 - Another intelligent solution to perform this action?

My system:
OS: Windows 10 [Ver 10.0.17763.973]
Ranorex version: 9.2.1+git37787e16
Hardware: HP Zbook with 3 screens

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Could you please post complete xpath to the element you are looking for? The snapshot you posted shows no screenshots and entire DOM appears to be invisible.

Generally speaking, I would use EnsureVisible action, instead of scrolling screen, which may be unreliable. EnsureVisible should bring the "out of screen" element to visible area of screen.
