How to turn off Ranorex status window during test execution?

Post by bbjeljac » Tue May 24, 2016 7:17 pm

I'd like to turn off Ranorex status window during test execution, as it sometimes covers application UI elements.

Hi,

You can disable it via Test Suite properties dialog or via code. Please check this post, how to do it both ways...

Anyway, even if the dialog covers part of GUI, it should not be a problem for test itself. In case mouse needs to interact with a control under the dialog, dialog automatically moves out of the mouse way. So there should be no need to disable the dialog. Or do you have different experience (what version of Ranorex do you use)?

I find it that sometimes, the dialog does NOT move out of the way. Is there an outstanding bug on this?

Hi,

Could you, please, be a bit more specific about your problem? I’m not experiencing any problem with progress dialog and some of me tests run over 5h. What version of Ranorex do you use and on what OS?
