Hi,

therefore please have a look at following chapter of our user guide:
RanoreXPath

In the "Functions" section you will see the x() and y() functions. Using this functions within a RanoreXPath you are able to identify elements based on there location.

So, as mentioned in the user guide, the RanoreXPath "/form[x()>100 and y()>100]" will identify all top level application with screen coordinates greater than 100.

Thanks a bunch,

is there also a way to write that in a usercode?
for example

int mycriteria = 100;

[y()>0 and x()>mycriteria]

Of course:
int mycriteria = 100;
Host.Local.FindSingle("RXPath/To/Your/element[y()>0 and x()>" + mycriteria.ToString() + " ]");
